“Geography of the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe [Geography I] covers the area that constituted the ancient Roman Empire. Each region is explored in its historical context in “History’s Headlines,” as well as in the present in “Tour of Today.” Your student will learn countries and capitals of today and relate them to the ancient lands of the Greeks and Romans, deepening his understanding of both the past and the present.
The Geography II set continues taking your student through the studies of the world. After completing the Geography I program, students are ready to cover areas of the world outside the Ancient Roman Empire. Each lesson includes physical features, history, and culture. Students will continue to deepen their understanding of past and present as they learn about ancient and modern countries.
Geography III solidifies the mapping skills learned in Geography I and II, and also requires students to label major landforms and topography. Students will study the climate, recent history, culture, and religion of every continent. This text has many illustrations of famous landmarks, architecture, and people from around the world, and the workbook requires students to practice mapwork weekly. In addition to labeling maps, students will learn to freehand-draw each continent using the Robinson Map Project. This is a thorough world geography course that is perfect for middle school students before their advanced European and American history courses in high school.” – Memoria Press

The History of the Ancient World
Publisher/Author
Susan Baur
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“This is the first volume in a bold new series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history.
Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”―literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts―to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.” – Amazon

The Story of the Thirteen Colonies & the Great Republic Set
Publisher/Author
Memoria Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“We have looked, and we cannot find an American history study on a grammar school level that we think rivals H. A. Guerber’s two-volume American history set from the turn of the 20th century. So, rather than settle for lesser quality, we have combined Guerber’s The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic into one volume that makes it a perfect one-year survey of American history for the middle school years. Our edition of this text has been heavily edited to make it more concise and to allow for the fact that many events considered pivotal to history in the late 1800s have paled in significance with the passing of time and events such as two world wars.” – Memoria Press
