Gr 7 Up-When STEM is mentioned, people don't often think of paper, calendars, or silk, but those items were considered cutting-edge technologies at one time. These books travel through the many advances made by each historical empire in STEM fields ranging from agriculture to weaponry. The authors ground each device or process within the unique worldview of the civilization and explain how it met the needs of the culture. Photos show ancient structures like Machu Picchu, a model of a seismograph from the Han Dynasty, and early world maps. The loss of knowledge due to the destruction of records by conquering civilizations is also addressed, as well as the use of new technology such as Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) to locate ancient ruins and search for more answers. VERDICT Thorough coverage of the topics makes this an excellent resource for student research projects.
