内容简介 Kingfisher Knowledge is a groundbreaking series for readers hungry for information on today's hot topics. Lively, engaging text, packed with information, accompanies stunning photographs that enhance each chapter. Amazing, state-of-the-art digital artwork guides readers into the fascinating heart of the subject. This learning adventure does not stop there - information panels throughout lead the reader to further discovery. Each chapter offers website links, book lists, places to visit and career information. Archaeology explores the fascinating science of excavating and examining the debris of centuries of daily human life, from the earliest Iron Age axe-heads to the mass-produced objects of more recent history, and from the smallest Roman coins to the largest archaeological sites. It describes the history and techniques of archaeology, overviews some of the important historical themes and periods on which it has shed light, and includes a section which looks closer at some of the most exciting archaeological sites around the world. The book as a whole introduces readers to the treasure-trove that archaeology offers us, and begins to put it into its wider historical context.
专业书评 From Booklist Reviewed with Richard Platt's
Communication.
Gr. 4-6. Combining high-interest topics with colorful, eye-catching graphics, these sweeping surveys in the Kingfisher Knowledge series are tailor-made for hooking middle-graders, casual browsers, and reluctant older readers. In Archaeology, Barnes talks up the excitement of hands-on study of the past in a whirlwind tour of renowned finds, from Catal Huyuk to Great Zimbabwe. Platt offers quick looks at communications media, from bee dances to DVDs, before closing with vague comments on the perils of censorship and advertising. In both volumes, text blocks and big color photos or reconstructed scenes occupy roughly equal space on topical spreads, which are grouped into chapters, each of which concludes with a terse chapter summary plus sparse assortments of book citations, URLs, and brief definitions of relevant careers. Despite a predictable skimpiness of detail, plus a few factual errors (the screw in an image of Gutenberg's press is threaded the wrong way), these make potentially popular, if not quite essential, additions.
