Ancient Greece (Find Out About)

Ancient Greece (Find Out About)

by Colin Hynson (Author)

Synopsis

This book takes a fascinating look at ancient Greece and what its artefacts tell us. Each chapter answers a question about the period, such as 'who were the ancient Greeks?', 'how did the Greeks communicate?' 'what was life like in ancient Greece?' and 'what did the ancient Greeks contribute to the world?'. Panels titled 'what does it tell us?' explore archaeological sites, artefacts and texts, and explain how historians have used these to piece together what life was like in the past. With fascinating colour photographs, a glossary, index, and further information section, this book provides a valuable insight into the ancient Greeks.

Media Reviews
Although this book is primarily intended for use with a history topic at KS2-3, it is so attractively laid out that others wanting an instant introduction to Roman civilisation could well profit from it. -- Unknown 20060801
