Cicada Books Limited Atlas of Amazing Architecture: The most
Book SynopsisThis fact-filled guide for kids 7 to 17 explores the world of architecture as you’ve never seen it before, from tiny shacks to vast palaces – and everything in between! Praise for Atlas of Amazing Architecture ''Given the global spread of coverage and the unusual buildings chosen, this is a must for children’s history, art, and architecture collections''.-- Booklist Starred Review ''A delightful and informative trip around the globe''. -- School Library Journal ''Peter Allen has written and illustrated a book that is stunning. I am sure there will be many, like me, who will revisit it time and time again and still find out something new and interesting''. -- Just Imagine ''A vibrant, wonderful journey across the world and will open the eyes of young readers to the awe-inspiring architecture all around us''. -- The BookActivist ''Both young and older readers will be drawn in, delighting in a wide-ranging exploration of fascinating buildings who are now getting a bit more exposure thanks to this fun and informative book''. -- The AOI ''Bursting with fascinating detail, this book is ideal for any budding young architect''. -- BookTrust ''A wonderful book to generate interest in the built environment''. -- Goodreads This atlas of architectural wonders eschews the classic children’s book fare of the Pyramids and the Taj Mahal, and instead takes a broader view of what constitutes amazing architecture. Buildings include: the Jameh mosque of Isfahan in Iran, Native American plank houses in New Mexico, Stave Churches in Norway, The Djinguereber Mosque in Mali, and extraordinary 18th century wooden churches on Kizhi Island, Russia. Over 50 buildings span all the continents equally throughout history. Each of these buildings is visually striking and architecturally noteworthy; they introduce new engineering technologies or define a movement or capture the essence of a moment in human history. However, despite their significance, they are, for the most part, not part of the main Western architectural canon. This book seeks out a more diverse, inclusive approach to what constitutes amazing architecture, and presents it with fresh illustration and clear, punchy text. Established illustrator Peter Allen, whose work has been published extensively by Usborne and Walker, brings the illustrations alive in his typical playful and dynamic style.

SPCK Publishing Candle Bible Atlas
Book SynopsisThe story of God's people in the Bible is set in a particular place and at a particular time. It is linked to the land: "The land you are crossing [the Jordan] to occupy is a land of hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky, a land that the Lord your God looks after." (Deuteronomy 11:11-12). "The Bible is full of journeys. Abraham took an epic journey from his father's home in Ur to the land of Canaan. The Hebrews journeyed from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. The kingdom of Israel expanded under King David. Later the Jews were taken into exile in distant Babylon and Persia. Jesus journeyed around Galilee and Judea, while Paul took an epic series of missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world. It is very helpful to have maps to show where these places were, and where the journeys led. This atlas provides a clear set of annotated maps offering an accessible background to the Bible story." Tim Dowley, A companion to the Candle Bible Handbook, with newly commissioned maps.Table of ContentsContents: Bible Lands 5The World of the Bible 63-Dimensional View of Palestine 7Palestine 8Abraham Travels to the Promised Land 10Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the 12Tribes of Israel 12Abraham’s Family in the Promised Land 13The Exodus 14Israel Enters Canaan 15The Israelites Settle in Canaan 16Judges Rule the Israelites 17The Kingdom of Saul 18The Kingdom of David and Solomon 19The Kingdom Divides 20Two Prophets: Elijah and Elisha 21The Assyrian Empire 22The Babylonian Kingdom 24Jewish Exile and Return 26The Persian Empire 28The Empire of Alexander the Great 30Palestine under the Maccabeans 32Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls 33Old Testament Timeline 34Palestine in the Time of Jesus 36Jesus’ Early Years 38Jesus Starts his Work 39Jesus’ Work in Galilee 40Jesus’ Final Journey to Jerusalem 42Jesus’ Last Week in Jerusalem 43Jesus Rises from the Dead 44The Missions of Philip 45Saul is Converted 46The Missions of Peter 47The Roman Empire in the Time of the Apostle Paul 48Paul’s First Mission 51Paul’s Second Mission c. ad 50–53 52Paul’s Third Mission c. ad 53 54Paul’s Voyage to Rome c. ad 59–60 56New Testament Timeline 58John sends Letters to 7 Churches in Asia 59The Spread of Christianity by ad 100 60Index of Places 62Index of Names 64
