Title: OUTSTANDING !!!!!
Product review: Even if you have to buy it used, get this for your 7-10 year old to get him/her excited about this period of world history. Like all Usborne books, the simple, almost cartoonish, pictures will draw the child's interest to the equally simple and understandable text.The book covers the period of 1450-1750 and explores art and learning; science and invention; new religious ideas; war and weapons.Other topics are the Incas; the discovery of America; the Muslim empires; the Habsburgs; the Elizabethans; European settlers in North America; plantations and trading forts, the Mogul empire; life in Japan; merchants and trade; and lastly, kings and parliaments.Each topic is simply but thoroughly presented for this age group. The book provides a springboard for further learning about this period of history. A book like this will never be out of style for avid learners and for those whose interest in learning you want to encourage or increase.Even adults will learn from it!
