内容简介 Featuring beautiful, hand-illustrated maps and packed with fascinating information to feed children's interest in the past, "The Kingfisher Atlas of the Medieval World" is perfect for all children aged 8 and over. A short introductory section gives a simple overview of the medieval world, explaining that many of the world's countries and cities that we know today grew up during this period, and that trade and religion were major influences on how civilizations were shaped at this time. It looks at how we know about these people and places - from the rich variety of art and architecture that survives today as well as from chronicles and other written evidence. The main section of the book examines a selection of major civilizations in turn. Each main spread is dominated by an attractive, newly commissioned hand-illustrated map featuring pictorial icons which give a real flavour of the civilization it covers. Clear, simple text introduces the civilization and its history before going on to describe interesting details about that society's people and the objects, buildings, stories and ideas they have left behind. Full-colour photographs and artworks add to each spread's appeal. In addition to the main spreads, a small number of features throughout the book focus in more closely on a well-known civilization, allowing readers to build on their interest and find out more about ever-popular topics such as knights and castles and the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. This atlas is a great reference tool that children will find attractive and enjoyable to use at home and at school, where it will make an ideal accompaniment to other history books. They will love finding out about a wide variety of peoples and places, and discovering who inhabited the world and what life was like in medieval times.
专业书评 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.

The Atlas of the Medieval World (Peter Bedrick, 1999) is similar in scope.—
