(4) 4-6 Science of the Past series. Covering such subjects as Egyptian pyramids, Roman aqueducts, Arabic astronomy, and Chinese cosmology, these books present many achievements of these ancient cultures in somewhat of a random fashion, without much depth given to any particular topic. Nevertheless, the various inventions, theories, technologies, and other accomplishments give a sense of the sophistication of past cultures. Illustrated with color photos and reproductions. Bib., glos., ind.
