Navigation This thoroughly fascinating history of cartography ranges from the birchbark maps of the early Indians and clay tablets of the Babylonians right up to the Global Positioning System of today. It features great explanations of latitude and longitude, projections, etc. Black line drawings make it easy for teachers to reproduce needed material. I'm teaching ancient civilizations this year, so this will fit in perfectly as we talk about the cultures and achievements of different cultures. Great resource book for teachers, and lovers of maps or history.
Players have to choose from four guides and supply packages.
Traveling by canoe, one has to fish, gather vegetables and keep on the main river. Trading with people along the way offers learning opportunities. Installation is smooth and the graphics are excellent. This game is for a slightly older crowd than Oregon Trail, since the players must actually guide the canoe on the mighty Amazon. Ltd.
