(4) YA World History series. These volumes introduce the development and sophistication of ancient river civilizations (ancient Egypt, Indus Valley) and those of the early Americas. The narratives also trace the ways in which both groups of cultures influenced today's society and world history. The texts are well-researched and detail-rich but rather dull. Primary sources, photographs, paintings, maps, and sidebars offer some relief. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these World History titles: The Americas Before 1492 and Early River Civilizations.
