What terrible secret was buried in Shi Huangdi's tomb? Did nomads like lizard stew? What happened to Anansi the Spider in the Village of the Plantains? And how did a six-year-old become the last emperor of Rome? Told in a straightforward, engaging style that has become Susan Wise Bauer's trademark, The Story of the World series covers the sweep of human history from ancient times until the present. Africa, China, Europe, the Americas—find out what happened all around the world in long-ago times. This first revised volume begins with the earliest nomads and ends with the last Roman emperor. Newly revised and updated, The Story of the World, Volume 1 includes maps, a new timeline, more illustrations, and additional parental aids. This read-aloud series is designed for parents to share with elementary-school children. Enjoy it together and introduce your child to the marvelous story of the world's civilizations. |

 Written on May 3, 2008 Summary: Fundamentally Flawed I'm not even going to get into how bad this book needs a copy editor. It reads like it was rushed (far prematurely) into print. This book was so bad that it made me view all the other Wise/Bauer works through a new, gimlet eye. I have edited this review extensively, because having thought it over, I think that this book's premise is a poor one after all. I think that it reads disjointedly and muddles facts because it skips around so much- it reads like "Here's five chapters on the Middle East. Meanwhile, over in China..." I think that it makes more sense to study the history of a particular culture, nation, or area. In other words, use geography as the spine. Trying to tell what was going on all over the world during any given year (or century) is going to be haphazard most of the time.  Written on April 15, 2008 Summary: Very good resource Only one caution, there are some map inaccuracies in the workbook. Ninevah is on the wrong side of the Tigris river on two of the worksheets. Very nice foundation for young children; mine look forward to reading every day.  Written on April 4, 2008 Summary: Lacks a Providential view of His-Story.... Right from the beginning, with the "definition" of history you are given the author's world view. History is treated as a series of facts, events, and people-thereby glorifying man and his knowledge and successes APART from a Providential view of history which recognizes God's Hand in history- properly defined has His Story! As for the writing style-the narrative is most appropriate for early elementary. The narrative is engaging for that age set and could be self read, though it lends itself to a read-aloud. Overall, this volume is inappropriate for a Christian home educator. I would look into something from Foundation for American Christian Education, Mantle Ministries, Beautiful Feet Books or the like in lieu. Written on March 14, 2008 Summary: Classical homeschool Even more fun with the activity book. Better for the younger ones, say under 10 years old, but still enjoyable for older kids. Written on March 9, 2008 Summary: The perfect starting point ! The Story of the World is the perfect starting point for a child's study of history. Susan Wise Bauer's bibliography and supplemental materials -- see The Story of the World: Activity Book 1: Ancient Times: From the Earliest Nomads to the Last Roman Emperor, Third Edition -- provide many suggestions for further reading and for activities which enhance learning. Using the activity book (a separate item), my daughter loved constructing an archeological dig; creating models of a river to understand how silt is carried by turbulent waters and deposited in the still waters near the mouth; documenting her personal history; and constructing copies of various historic items such as the Pharaoh Menes' innovative double crown and scepter. This series does so much more than present historic information -- rather, the student is encouraged to expect and notice connections, and to develop the imagination necessary to understand historic context. For example, my daughter will eagerly discuss with you some interactions between environment and culture demonstrated by communities in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China. Susan Wise Bauer's entire Story of the World series is readily accessible to young children, and provides a coherent overview of the history of the world and a timeline of history across cultures around the world. Note that while the Story of the World series is addressed to children in the early years (grammar stage), Susan Wise Bauer's The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome is intended for the adult audience, yet can serve as a useful adjunct to The Story of the World series. Highly recommended! |
