A good choice for History teachers. This book is equal parts essay and photos. Each set of photos is supported by a short essay written by different authors. Each essay briefly talks about the topic, such as Stonehenge and the Nasca Lines. But it also leaves the reader with questions about these reasons for their creation. This book is a good start for leading students along the path of asking futher questions about the past. It best used with a middle school class. It does not give alot of detail, so it requires you to be able to look past what is written. I would want older students to use a more detailed book or article for each individual topic. ( )
