Book by Davis, Kenneth

Describes how the Romans put to use and expanded the scientific achievements of earlier civilizations.

This book was written to more easily pass on the rich and timeless message of the U.S. Constitution and to demonstrate how it serves us today. Easy-to-use, it makes the legalistic language and complex structure of the document accessible for all students. Using a unique, two-column format, the full text of the Constitution is presented beside an explanation of its meaning in terms students will understand. Divided into lessons of varying length, it includes thought-provoking questions and directives for outside work. The book also begins with a study of the Declaration of Independence for historical perspective.

From the rallying cry On to Richmond! to the surrender at Appomattox Court House in Virginia, the Civil War (1861-1865) tested the spirit, courage, and unity of the American nation. The bloodiest war in American history, the conflict pitted North against South in a monumental struggle over slavery and states' rights. Discover the political, economic, and cultural implications of the war through the voices of Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis, former slaves, impassioned abolitionists, soldiers, and other participants in this fascinating series. Supports the national curriculum standards Time, Continuity, and Change; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions; Power, Authority, and Governance; and Civic Ideals and Practices as outlined by the National Council for the Social Studies.
