![]() Seven Wonders of the Ancient World $7.95 I purchased this book for my second grader when we decided to do a history fair project on the 7 wonders. She really enjoyed the fact that is book is a story and also has beautiful pictures. It did a really good job of helping a young child visualize the wonders and brought something ancient more to life for her. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to teach ancient history to younger children. ![]() The Seven Wonders Of The World $22.49 RICK HAS ONCE AGAIN BROUGHT FORTH A CREATIVE PIECE OF MUSIC ON THIS CD AND ALSO AT THE SAME TIME GIVES US SOME INTERESTING HISTORY OF THE SEVEN WONDERS. IT'S NOT HIS BEST WORK BUT STILL THE SAME VERY ENJOYABLE, AND AS ALWAYS, IT'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE GENIUS OF RICK.WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE. ![]() Seven Wonders of Ancient World [VHS] $19.99 This video, although at times sensationalistic, is a good introduction on how the Greeks and Romans viewed their Mediterranean world. From the Pyramids to the Colossus of Rhodes -- as well as the lesser known Mausoleum at Halicarnassus -- viewers get a glimpse of the 'wonder' as well as some general history. The video also points out the limited scope of these ancients: it makes note that structures like the Great Wall of China, unknown to the Mediterranean peoples, was left out. A good way to spend 50 minutes, this video is a decent overview of how the Western world saw itself. |
