Various types of artifacts are explored from stone age tools to what future archaeologists might find when they dig into our layer (cell phones, cars, etc) There are also some good pages about the types of tunnels that are constructed, from mining to secret bunkers. Cultures are discussed not only in their everyday lifestyle but also in some of the religious habits, from the builders of stone circles to the elaborate trappings of organized religions. There is a lot going on for each page, with cutouts of houses, garbage dumps, factories, wells, etc, and insets with more information about different slices of the culture. A child could easily spend a good chunk of time examining the whole thing and still find something new next time the book is opened. For the detail oriented child with a good attention span. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
