Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!

I am a homeschooling mom who recently borrowed this book from the Boston Museum of Science library. My son (9 years old)and I both loved this book! I had no idea our current numeral system was developed in Ancient India. Or surgical techniques that were discovered thousands of years ago are still being used today. My son looked forward to this book everyday. Fascinating facts make this book an easy read and there are also great pictures and a useful glossary. We highly recommend this book!
