From the Mycenaean society of ancient Greece to the Aztec Empire of fifteenth-century Mexico, the Cultural Atlas for Young People set provides a systematic, cross-disciplinary overview of the world's important cultures. Young readers will learn, for instance, not just about the geography and history of ancient Greece, but how geography and history interrelate -- and how they influence daily life, language and lore, and art and architecture. An Exploration of the Pivotal Ideas and Institutions of the Past Through a brilliant integration of cartography, illustrations, and text, each volume guides young readers on exciting voyages through ancient towns and villages and inside homes and gardens to introduce the people, customs, and institutions of bygone civilizations. Each atlas includes: -- Full-color maps, supported by explanatory text and illustrations, enhancing coverage -- Charts, tables, and chronologies that provide ready reference to significant events and periods -- Special feature spreads focusing on particularly interesting facets of a civilization and its centers that can still be visited today -- Full-color reconstructions of what life was like at the time that enable young readers to understand the evidence on which history is based.
