Great Resource

Eyewitness books always are a great resource when learning about a culture. This book has wonderful pictures and descriptions of the cultures found in Africa.

If I only had these books when I was a kid!

When I was in Elem.School (I'm 42 now!)and had to do any type of research for school projects the only avenue available was (in most cases) out dated materals in my local library. If the "Eyewitness Books" series (64 Photo Study Books) was available I would have made much better grades! With topics from "AFRICA" to "WHALES" this set of study aides give a true color photo study of the subject chosen. In this book "AFRICA" we see photos of a detail and quality found only in current copies of National Geographic. It will help any child discover the traditional lifestyles, beliefs, skills & crafts of the people of ancient Africa. If you pick up any of these 64 "Eyewitness Books" be careful...You will want to get them all!
