Book Reviews of Ancient Greece (DK Eyewitness Books)
Book Review: CD very quickly done
Summary: 3 Stars
DK Publishing did a very quick job in creating the CD. On the index page, some of the links are missing. The pictures are there, but the user has to go to the folder on the CD to see them. As for the pictures, they cannot be resized to a larger size without distortion. For example, the map images are so small there is no possible way that a student could label it, but the caption below the image specifically talks about labeling the map. Only about 1/10th of the pictures from the book are included on the CD. The maximum pictures per two page layout is 5 images. The "At Home" page only has 1 image, the farm house. There are also some images included in the CD that are not in the book, but the caption that goes with the CD picture are not of the same caliber as the text descriptions that go with the pictures on the hard pages. Don't pay extra for the CD version of this book. It is not worth the money.
Summary of Ancient Greece (DK Eyewitness Books)
Some of the most popular selections from the formidable Eyewitness backlist are now available with a clip-art CD included-with no increase in price!Ancient Greek culture, which reached its peak in Athens in the 5th century B.C., produced some of the most glorious and fascinating relics of Western civilization. This terrific Eyewitness Book traces ancient Greek achievements from the Bronze Age through the Hellenistic period using evidence found by archaeologists. Greek myths are introduced by way of statues, carvings, and illustrations. Like all the books of this series, Ancient Greece is incredibly rich in vivid, colorful photographs, which bring the subject to life. Kids and adults can learn about power and politics in Athens, the legendary Herakles (not quite like the Disney version), temples, and home life. Archaeological evidence shows what life was like for women and children of ancient Greece, what people did for fun, and what their standards of beauty and accomplishment were. It's easy to see how influential this ancient culture has been on modern life, from science and medicine to the Olympic games. Extremely informative, intriguing, and entertaining.
