About the Author:
Jane Shuter is a Heinemann-Raintree author.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3–6—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.—Paula Willey, Baltimore County Public Library, Towson, MD
