Download or read book Native Americans written by Eloise F. Potter and published by North Carolina State Museum. This book was released on 1986 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This large format book with many color illustrations describes native American history on the American continents from the Ice Age to the present, concentrating on Indian history in North Carolina. The book examines living arrangements, objects of daily use, animal husbandry and agriculture, tribal leagues, and architecture. It describes the 28 tribes of Indians known to have lived in North Carolina at the time of European contact, their language groups, and their locations. Because North Carolina Algonquins greeted and befriended the Roanoke colonists, more is known about them than any other Indian tribe living in North Carolina at the time, and their way of life as hunters, fishers, and farmers is described. The main effect of contacts with the Europeans was a drastic population decline caused by disease, disruption of traditional life styles, and displacement. Indians' lives in the Appalachian mountains continue to affect North Carolina in the late 20th century. The book also details the contemporary contributions of native Americans. The book contains a list of Indian-related places to visit in North Carolina, 31 references, and a short directory of Native American Organizations. (DHP)
Download or read book The Year 1000 written by Robert Lacey and published by Abacus (UK). This book was released on 2000 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE YEAR 1000 is a vivid evocation of how English people lived a thousand years ago - no spinach, sugar or Caesarean operations in which the mother had any chance of survival, but a world that knew brain surgeons, property developers and, yes, even the occasional gossip columnist. In the spirit of modern investigative journalism, Lacey and Danziger interviewed the leading historians and archaeologists in their field. In the year 1000 the changing seasons shaped a life that was, by our standards, both soothingly quiet and frighteningly hazardous - and if you survived, you could expect to grow to just about the same height and stature as anyone living today. This exuberant and informative book concludes as the shadow of the millennium descends across England and Christendom, with prophets of doom invoking the spectre of the Anti-Christ. Here comes the abacus - the medieval calculating machine - along with bewildering new concepts like infinity and zero. These are portents of the future, and THE YEAR 1000 finishes by examining the human and social ingredients that were to make for survival and success in the next thousand years.

Book excerpt: An original look at history that profiles 30 children from different eras so that children of today can discover the lives of the cave people, Romans, Vikings, and beyond through the eyes of someone their own age.

A Child Through Time is historically accurate and thoroughly researched, and brings the children of history to life-from the earliest civilizations to the Cold War, even imagining a child of the future. Packed with facts and including a specially commissioned illustration of each profiled child, this book examines the clothes children wore, the food they ate, the games they played, and the historic moments they witnessed-all through their own eyes. Maps, timelines, and collections of objects, as well as a perspective on the often ignored topic of family life through the ages, give wider historical background and present a unique side to history. Covering key curriculum topics in a new light, A Child Through Time is a perfect and visually stunning learning tool for children ages 7 and up.
