About the Author
Dale Anderson is a Heinemann Raintree author.
From Booklist
Gr. 3-5. Titles in the History in Art series use artifacts to present ancient societies' history and culture. Here, the author begins by introducing the idea of "art as evidence" and discusses how sculpture and other artworks can offer clues to life in long-ago civilizations. Subsequent spreads feature mostly well-reproduced images of paintings, clay and bronze pieces, and other artifacts, which nicely complement the brief descriptions of major dynasties. Later pages also use works of art to focus on the major advancements in technology, religion, government, the arts, and daily life through the eras. The text, while occasionally pedestrian, clearly introduces some complex ideas, and pictures and text are arranged invitingly on the pages. A time line, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading round out this good starting point for exploring Chinese history. Other titles in the series include Native Americans, Islamic Empires, and Ancient Egypt. Gillian Engberg
