A Farm Through Time
Eric Thomas's lush, intricate illustrations mix with Angela Wilkes's informative text to dazzling effect in A Farm Through Time: The History of a Farm From Medieval Times to the Present Day. Gatefold spreads  reveal cutaway views of the farmhouse and dairy. Following the flow of the seasons, this oversize edition illustrates changing farming techniques, the role each member plays in a small community and the effects of modernization on a traditional way of life. A glossary defines unfamiliar terms. Using DK's signature layout with a wealth of photographs, A Journey Through Time: Excavating Life on Earth by Selina Wood, illus. by Richard Bonson, begins in the present with an excavation in Pompeii, then goes back through the time of the dinosaurs, and even further to "the oldest rocks on Earth."Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
