Workman Publishing introduces Explorers, the latest in its Fandex Family Field Guide series. Workman Publishing has introduced a new title to its series of Fandex Family Field Guides. Previous editions have spotlighted trees, U.S. presidents, the Civil War, and dogs. Fifty die-cut cards present a chronology of the world's greatest explorers. Students in elementary and middle schools love the Fandex series.
Explorers offers a handy reference guide to the great names in exploration.
Each explorer's brief biography, written by Steven M. L. Aronson, hits the high points. Explorers is an ideal tool for engaging students. Once their students are engaged, teachers can challenge them to learn about a particular explorer in more depth. Many lesser-known, but very important, names pop up too. Explorers opens with an introduction to the explorations of the ancient Phoenicians and ends with Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon.
