5.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview of explorers, many nice details and illustrations,
This review is from: Scholastic Atlas of Exploration (Paperback)
This is a nice overview of explorers aimed at upper elementary or middle school students. Each topic is covered with the basic information, along with interesting tidbits and illustrations. For example, Christopher Columbus's pages contain information about the North Atlantic Winds, everyday life aboard ship, and illustrations of the types of supplies taken as well as the items brought back and navigation instruments. There's also a nice cutaway view of the ship. Lots of nice details.Each topic usually has 2-4 pages devoted to it. The topics covered are as follows: The Early Explorers (Ancient World, Greeks, Vikings, Middle Ages, Marco Polo) The First Great Age of Exploration (Europeans in Asian Lands, Vasco de Gama, Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand Magellan, Hernando Cortes and the Aztecs, Francisco Pizarro and the Incas) The Second Great Age of Exploration (Explorers of North America, People of North America, Explorers of South America, Exploring South America, Captain Cook, Explorers of Australia, Explorers of Africa, Explorers of the North Pole, Explorers of the South Pole) The Third Great Age of Exploration (Ocean Exploration, Space Exploration, The Future of Exploration) Very nice overview of the explorers. I was glad to have it to use to supplement our study of explorers as part of early American history. |
