A STREET THROUGH TIME (A 12,000-Year Walk Through History_
Millard, Anne
1998 21130 Demonstrating the unfolding of history, panoramic views visiting a particular site every few centuries follow the evolution of a Stone Age riverside settlement into a twentieth-century city. A bold title and date with a few sentences describing significant changes appears in the upper-right-hand corner of each broad vertical scene. Added statements wind around the four borders, offering details about daily life of the period and inviting readers to search for significant activities among the many small vignettes in the larger view. Tiny figures busy at daily life offer an engaging chronicle of human experience over time as invaders and disease take their toll or more peaceful times bring prosperity and growth. The hypothetical street is in an unnamed European setting; Romans, Barbarians, Vikings, and the plague alter the fortunes of in-habitants. Some of the historical milestones represented by the fourteen segments are not so far apart, while long stretches of time separate others. It's a very telescopic view, compressing the rich complexities of history into a few glimpses, but there's plenty of human interest in the passing scene to keep readers poring over the shifting yet similar pursuits of people over time. The timeline construct is a useful demon-stration for children, and the busy vistas would make a fine springboard for encouraging students to create scenes of local history. m.a.b. Walter Dean Myers At Her Majesty's Request: An African Princess in Victorian England From The Critics Children's Literature This highly intriguing, educational charmer has few equals in children's factual literature. Readers follow a Stone Age riverside settlement through time, drawn irresistibly into each era as the town develops. Primitive ways lead on to hunters, who are followed by Romans, barbarian hordes, Viking raiders and so on. As the centuries change, so do clothes, buildings, trades, and children's games-all in glorious panorama. Opened out to its fullest, the spread is a dazzling 28"-every illustrator's (and reader's) dream! This book begs to be examined over and over again. Condition: Cover scratched, small tears on a few of pages at bottom where page was turned over, shelf wear around edges, tape covers spine where torn. Sold 'as is' reading copy. Inside is CLEAN & UNMARKED with vivid full color drawings that will excite and inform! Published at Eighteen Dollars., DK Publishing, Inc. 0-7894-3426-1 / 9780789434265

FUSION FITNESS: 15 MARTIAL ART WORKOUTS FOR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT [ILLUSTRATED]
Millard, Anne-Marie
2004 20154 From Publishers Weekly Readers interested in taking up a martial art but bewildered by the sport's many varied traditions will find a useful guide in this friendly, thoroughly illustrated introduction to the philosophies and practices behind the Asian self-defense arts. "It would be impossible for this book to even begin to touch on all the martial arts styles," Millard declares in the first chapter, but her book nonetheless provides clear summaries of the 10 most common traditions, including karate, aikido, kickboxing, wing chun and tai chi chuan. Her detailed explanations of the techniques allow readers to make an educated choice about which form would best fit their lifestyle and fitness level. Later chapters offer easy-to-follow exercise regimens that focus on balance, concentration, stretching, and strengthening the core abdominal muscles; these allow readers to test out some of the principles described in earlier chapters. But Millard, a former personal trainer, emphasizes that martial arts are "very difficult, if not impossible" to learn without one-on-one instruction, and her book primarily aims to inspire readers to "delve deeper" and to adopt a healthy lifestyle. A whole chapter on food, for example, sorts through the facts and fictions of smart food selection with sporty headlines like "Carbs Rule!" and "Cancel That Coffee!" as well as guidelines for incorporating seasonal eating into daily meal plans.
