Heroes of Chivalry
NEW Heroes of History Stories from Amanda Bennett!
All new in Amanda's Heroes of History Series!
Do you and your family want to know more about the Crusades -- what they were
about and who were the heroes of this era of history? This new history title
from Amanda is about heroes from the days of knights and chivalry -- wonderful
reading with so much interesting history threaded throughout the stories. With
so many references in the news these days to the Crusades and past conflicts of
Christians and Muslims, this book helps develop an understanding of these
topics, along with
building a strong background in history for your 8th - 12th
grade student. Amanda has worked on this title to shape it into an informative
and interesting study for your students to enjoy.
Based on a book written in 1905, Amanda has developed this new book on CDROM, updating the language, adding clickable Internet links to help study the people and places indepth, along with illustrations.
"These
brief historical sketches were written primarily for young people, though it is
hoped that some older readers may find pleasure in renewing their acquaintance
with heroes of chivalry whose names are familiar still, but whose deeds are only
vaguely recalled. It is the purpose of the book to enliven the study of history
by giving the adventurous details omitted in textbooks, and to enable the
readers to form a more vivid and lifelike conception of the great men with whom
it deals and the turbulent and picturesque times in which they lived."
The Heroes of this title include:
Roland and Oliver
The Cid Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar
Godfrey and the First Crusade
Richard Cœur-De-Lion (Richard the Lion Heart)
Also included on
the CDROM is a FREE BONUS BOOK:
The G. A. Henty book Winning His
Spurs, an exciting tale about a young man
and his daring adventures on the Third Crusade with Richard the Lionheart.
Amanda says that this is a "must read for this study" -- full of adventure and
history, combined into a hard-to-put-down story! This bonus is included on your
Heroes of Chivalry CDROM as a separate Adobe Reader file. This offer is ONLY
available through www.unitstudy.com
