This purpose of this Web site is to discuss a variety of types of architecture and what effect those styles have on our life today. The site has information on architecture from the Aztec, Chinese, Egyptian, Greek, Mayan and Roman civilizations. Other architecture studied are Classical and Cathedrals. The larger site includes information on other programs shown on the network as well as a section specifically set up for educators. The highlight of the Web site is the searchable database that gives users access to over 20,000 biographies.
Users can either type in a name or search the list alphabetically.
The number of responses as well as the amount of information contained in each biography varies. This is a great research tool for students and teachers. It is also an excellent companion piece for current events, history and political science discussions and curriculum. Christian Science Monitor . Coombs Computing Unit .
