  Each book in the Insights series provides children with a broad range of topics in history, natural history and science. Six pages with fold-out flaps allow children the opportunity to discover historical facts or animal physiology, such as the exact movement an animal makes when it runs, jumps, flies or crawls. This volume explores the Aztec peoples, their territory and ways of life. It questions the evidence we have of their existence, their skills and crafts, how they hunted and prepared for war, and the catastrophic events that occurred after the arrival of European explorers.

  An offbeat look at past civilisations Focusing on the unusual, this new series explores ancient worlds and cultures from a very different point of view. Did you know that one of the greatest Viking warriors was called Thorbjorn the Feeble? Or that a Roman tournament once involved 10,000 gladiators and 11,000 wild animals? Each book contains a table of contents, a glossary and an index.
