Written in a similar style to the preceding volumes, this book teaches history and geography with a living-book approach that weaves together engaging text and vibrant photographs and graphics. Students will feel as if they are walking in the footsteps of great minds from the medieval world, including Charlemagne, Ferdinand and Isabella, Joan of Arc, Johannes Gutenberg, and Martin Luther, while exploring Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the tiny kingdoms: Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Materials lists and weekly schedule make this 3-day-a-week course easy to use. This volume does pick up where Explore the Classical World (Volume 3) ends in the timeline of history. Volume 3 is helpful for understanding the Middle Ages, but it is not necessary to complete this volume. Chapters conclude with map work, timeline work, reflection questions, and a Love Your Neighbor prompt where families pray for the people in that area of study. Activities include making flashcards, picture studies, learning Italian, recipes, construction projects, and so much more, making this such an engaging geography course for students. Chapter reviews and a final exam can be found in the back along with all answers and reference maps. 383 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca
