(4) 4-6 How They Made Things Work! series. This series explores the technology that allowed the titular ancient civilizations to thrive.

Unfortunately, the information can be hard to navigate across the busy spreads. Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these How They Made Things Work! titles: The Egyptians, The Greeks, In the Renaissance, and The Romans.
