Grade 6-12-- Twelve lovely color plates show scenes from past civilizations; ten deliberate errors or anachronisms appear in the wealth of visual detail. Included are scenes from ancient Egypt, an Australian aboriginal hunt, a Zulu wedding, a Sioux encampment, a Norman Christmas, a Viking funeral. The mistakes in a scene by the Nile, for example, are a tape measure, a book, an oak tree, a tractor, a fishing pole, a thermos, and a water hose. Most will be obvious to students, although a few items are either so small or poorly drawn as to be unidentifiable. In general, the illustrations are well executed, and Alles does a good job of including the correct parallels for the misplaced objects. Notes identify each error and describe the correct item. Of limited use in an educational setting, this volume will appeal to browsers--but probably only once. --Rosie Peasley, Empire Union School District, Modesto, CA
