Chapters from Ancient History by Dorothy Harrer

NEW EDITION!
For  those interested in the dawning and journey of Western Civilization,  and for those teaching fifth grade or tenth grade in a Waldorf school,  this is a rich collection of insights into those cultures that birthed  our contemporary culture, language, and artistic sensibilities. From  Ancient India, through Persia, Babylon, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the  glory of Greece, the descriptions of each civilization's rise and  decline are full of pictures and biographies that illuminate the times  in colorful examples and poetic samplings. 
 
This is a "must  have" for teachers and could be used as a reader for students thirteen  and older. Dorothy Harrer's understanding of the imaginative capacities  of children combines with skillful story telling to carry the reader to  lands far away and long ago. She links the ancient wisdom, spirituality,  literature and illustrious people to our current times. The insights  that arise from this are invaluable.
