About the Author:
Richard Dargie has enjoyed a long career teaching history. He has written more than 25 books for children. At present, he is a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-6 On illustrated spreads, the foods, homes, religious practices, forms of transportation, work, sports, clothing, and death/burial customs of the different classes are briefly compared. The approach is a bit unusual, and effective, to a certain extent. Both books assume basic knowledge of these civilizations. No introductory material places the topics in historical or geographical context. Each slim title has a time line in the back, but the exact period under discussion in the main text is not specified or highlighted there. However, these well-designed and attractive resources would complement other materials about Egypt or Rome, especially since the lives of the poor are often ignored. In each book a few quotes, graffiti commentary, inscriptions, epitaphs, and/or excerpts from letters are highlighted in sidebars. Photographs of sites, artifacts, statues, and other pieces of art, as well as original drawings, are included. These books are on a similar reading level as the Clues to the Past series (Sea-to-Sea, 2005) and the Uncovering History series (Smart Apple, 2003). Ancient Egypt and Ancient Rome (both DK, 2000) provide more comprehensive treatments of these cultures, but they are on a higher reading level.
