Culture Encyclopedia

by Fiona Macdonald

Our cultural heritage is created from thousands of years of human development, from hundreds of different art forms and from a kaleidoscopic mix of societies. This lavishly illustrated series presents the wonder and variety of cultural activities and influences, from design to myths and legends, from the performing arts to music, from religions to literature. Children will appreciate the accessibility and immediacy of the fact-packed text, the history panels, the illustrated statistical tables, as well as case histories that help bring to life this fascinating and important subject.
