Cause & Effect: Ancient Egypt

February 15, 2018
Grades 7-12 The study of ancient civilizations is evergreen, and students will find insights into the innovations, lasting impacts, and rise and decline of many noteworthy, historic peoples in the Cause & Effect: Ancient Civilizations series. Structured to emphasize the chain of events and/or innovations that allowed a civilization to take root and flourish, each volume gives a historical overview and explores four targeted questions pertinent to the society being examined. Ancient Egypt credits the Nile River with ancient Egyptians' ability to establish permanent settlements with advanced agricultural practices, which not only led to a complex society but a powerful empire. An opening time line, critical-thinking prompts, and numerous text boxes supplement these fact-rich titles, which will be especially useful for report writing.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
