Fiona MacDonald studied history at Cambridge University and at the University of East Anglia. She has taught in schools, adult education and universities, and is the author of numerous books for children on historical topics.
Grade 4–7—Each of these books examines structures or cities from an archaeological point of view. Five chapters per book present the "discovery" of the site (pointing out that local people may have already known of it); identify its creators; lay out any questions or mysteries about it; and discuss conservation and future investigation. Photos and reproductions are plentiful, though drawn from stock resources. However, there are no maps and few diagrams, a puzzling omission given the remoteness of sites such as Machu Picchu and the complicated internal structure of Egyptian pyramids. Books in the "National Geographic Investigates" series cover most of these ancient cultures in greater depth and with the same emphasis on archaeology; the "Great Structures in History" series (Gale) includes books on Stonehenge, the Egyptian pyramids, and the Roman Colosseum and are more richly illustrated.
