From School Library Journal
Grade 5–8—Sixteen colorful maps depict the world from A.D. 500 to 1500. A chronology appears in the right margin of the first map. Specific time lines for India, China, Japan and Korea, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the Vikings, Europe, African kingdoms, and North and Central America help students integrate the major historical events of the period. Topics include cathedrals and monasteries, Islamic culture, knights and castles, and the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán. General information is written in large type with details and captions in progressively smaller type. Picture icons identify cities, palaces, religious buildings, and people such as merchants, farmers, and soldiers, and there are several inset photos of artifacts and sites as well as large cutaway drawings of Chartres cathedral and The Dome of the Rock. Neil Morris's The Atlas of the Medieval World (Peter Bedrick, 1999) is similar in scope.—Ann Joslin, Fort LeBoef School District, Waterford, PA
