AMERICAN CULTURE
THE BUFFALO AND THE INDIANS
by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
Countless herds of majestic buffalo once roamed
across the plains and prairies of North America.
The author discusses how European

restoring buffalo herds to the land.

WHO WAS FIRST?
DISCOVERING THE AMERICAS
by Russell Freedman
In recent years scholars have shown us
that adventurers, explorers,
traders, and nomads from various parts
of the globe set foot on
American soil long before 1492.
Expeditions that landed in the Americas
reported people already living there—
indicating that America had been
“discovered” before.
Help stimulate student
curiosity with these new theories!
Three acclaimed books to use when teaching with
our WORLD EXPLORERS map!
MAGELLAN’S WORLD
by Stuart Waldman
Magellan left Portugal to lead an
expedition for his country's bitter
rival, Spain. He knew it would be a
dangerous voyage, but the reality
proved much worse: killer storms,
mutinies, deadly battles, murders,
deprivation and disease dogged the
four-year journey. Magellan's World
is the story of a harrowing
adventure, an inspiring and flawed
hero, and an epic event in the
history of the world.
DESPITE ALL OBSTACLES:
LASALLE AND THE CONQUEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
by Joan Elizabeth Goodman
La Salle made his way from Eastern Canada to the Great Lakes traveling by
canoe down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. This vast unexplored
wilderness was controlled by the fierce Iroquois. Through one setback after
another, La Salle kept on going. Part adventure, part biography, this book
is the fascinating story of this stubborn and courageous man who had
dreams as large as the continent. Full color illustrations and a useful map!
THE LAST RIVER: JOHN WESLEY POWELL &
THE COLORADO RIVER EXPLORING EXPEDITION
by Stuart Waldman
This book is an inspiring adventure that brings history to life.
Major John Wesley Powell was a small, bookish, one-armed
geology professor. Powell's twin passions -- adventure and
scientific exploration -- drew him to the Colorado River.
Excerpts from journals of crew members personalize the gripping
text. Original paintings and a fold-out map allows the reader to
simultaneously follow the expedition's route and its adventures.

ADVENTURES ON THE
ANCIENT SILK ROAD
by Priscilla Galloway
AN EGYPTIAN TOMB: THE TOMB OF
NEBAMUN
by Meredith Hooper
Nebamun lived in Egypt nearly 3500 years
ago, around the same time as Tutankhamun.
He built a wonderful tomb-chapel filled with
colorful paintings of himself, his family and
his servants. These paintings are among the
most famous objects to survive
from ancient Egypt, filled with detail that
students will love to explore.
The location of Nebamun’s tomb was lost
after the paintings were removed in the
1800’s, and experts are still studying the
clues to find it.
This book explores what the paintings mean
and how the experts have discovered
the mysteries of the tomb
and its possible location.
Three dramatic journeys on
the Silk Road changed
history:
Chinese Buddhist Xuanzang,
with a 16-year journey from
China to India and back
(629-645 AD).
Genghis Khan established
the greatest empire the
world had seen, from 1201
to 1227.
Italian merchant Marco Polo
journeyed through China
from 1271 to 1295: he
changed the way Europe
saw the world, even inspired
Columbus to sail west in
search of China.
Beautiful photographs, art,
maps, and sidebars.
