Review :
Series Review: "History Opens Windows."--These revised and updated books offer a simple overview of ancient cultures. Each 2-page spread deals with a topic such as farming, trade, everyday life, clothes and religion. Good for ESL students. Recommended--Natalie Sunde, Librarian, Nimitz High School Irving Independent School District12/4/2008-- "Irving Independent School District" The governance and material culture of each of these civilizations are presented. Expansion and decline are treated briefly. The books do not cover the origins of the civilizations or try to explain how they became so powerful. Sentences are simple and declarative, and illustrations, mostly large, clear photos, are relevant and captioned. Recommended--Paula WilleySchool Library JournalSeptember 2009-- "School Library Journal" The Aztecs is a revised edition in the History Opens Windows series from Heinemann. It contains a timeline, map, illustrations, photographs, glossary, index, a pronunciation guide, and a Find Out More page. The information given is easily read and interesting. The photographs and illustrations are colorful and give details about the Aztec life. Teachers and students will like the illustrations and easy to read text. Recommended--Michelle Quigley, Library Media Specialist Arlington Independent School District11/20/2008-- "Arlington Independent School District" These short, adequate presentations of three ancient cultures emphasize governance and material culture (clothing, crafts, architecture). The books do not cover the origins of the empires or try to explain how they became so powerful. Sentences are simple and clear, and illustrations (mostly photos of artifacts, but also many reproductions of period art, city plans, etc.) are relevant and captioned. However, given the richness of the subject matter and the ongoing research into these civilizations, one might hope for a bit more than adequate. Look to the National Geographic Investigates series for more depth and immediacy, Ferdinand Anton's The Secret World of the Aztecs (Prestel, 2002) for the same information delivered through stories and art, or Anita Ganeri's heavily illustrated Ancient Maya (Compass Point, 2006) for more fleshed-out depictions of these fascinating societies. Recommended-Paula Willey, Baltimore County Public Library, Towson, MD School Library Journal-- "School Library Journal"
