"I really like reading this book for history. It really gives good information about the way the Egyption's built the pyramids. It's really easy to understand."
"The pyramid presented in David Macaulay's architecture book is fictional and imaginary. Nevertheless, it is built in the 2400s BC in the same way that pyramids really were built about then, or at least were built insofar as we understand how they were built in 1982. Macaulay, despite being thirty years out of date almost, is still pretty much up to the minute on the 24th century BC and its technology.
does it show that I've been reading Charles Stross lately?
Anyway, this is an 80-page young-adult explanation of how the pyramids were built. I assigned it to my ninth graders this week, because they're all about and all over New England, visiting secondary schools. They needed a book that would get them thinking about ancient history and ancient technology and mathematics, and I chose this one. It was easy enough to get, and I remembered it as the book that got me interested in science and technology.
So far, it seems to be doing the same thing for them. So far, so good."
"Kendrick read this book and learned how an Egyptian Pyramid is built, the tools they used, the quarries stone was obtained from and building the pyramid itself. The book was primarily technical and contained little information about the people who built the pyramids."
"We looked through this, but didn't read the text out loud. I didn't think my elementary set would understand it and it was a little slow to boot. They did really enjoy the pictures and it helped them visualize the things they'd read about in other books.
It's a valuable visual resource, but may not work for younger kids. I'll have to try it again when they're older."
