    Mary & Michael Woods are the perfect-match in the genre of co-authors. Mary is a school librarian in Fairfax County, Va. Mike (amazon.com/author/michael.mary.woods) is the writer and award-winning journalist long based in the National Press Building in Washington, DC. Mary researches the topics and hands off the package to Mike, who hits the keyboard. The Woods' produced more than 50 published books in this "she-does/he-does" partnership. Research has taken them around the world, to many exotic venues. The "Goat Tree" in rural Morocco pictured above is just one example. So how did those dang goats climb into the tree?

5.0 out of 5 stars This is what I was looking for
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011
Good for my project: researching pre-Columbian culture contact between the Americas and other continents... specifically Asia. This book has excellent photographs that make comparisons easy. Here are some of the links I am pursuing from this book:

Nazca lines - Ancient manned kites in East Asia
Tiwanaku agriculture in raised beds - similarity to Indus valley agriculture, and also Nubia/Sudanese construction
Tikal - similarities to south Asian temples (Cambodia?) (Especially Baksei Chamkrong)
Lake Titicaca ruins -- built by a "white, bearded" people?

Anyway, blast those missionary friars for burning the Mayan codices, and blast Mao's cultural revolution for burning the records of ancient Chinese voyagers. Here's hoping that some records remain in Nepal or Tibet of Asian explorers who reached America.

other connections to pursue:
Aztec battle art - connection to Sukhothai kingdom in Thailand - art

3.0 out of 5 stars German Makeda & Solomon

Disappointed in the illustration used for Queen Makeda & King Solomon, it is of German medieval appearance. SMH! The image really makes you wonder about the author's intent & philosophy of Ancient Africa. Otherwise it is OK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seven wonders before Columbus
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2012
This simple and basic book on the seven wonders of ancient North America, covers from the Jellyfish Cove, The Iroquois Confederacy, Cahokia, Cliff Palace, Temple of the Inscription, Teotihuacan to Tenochtitlan. The text and colorful picture and the position in the map help our young people to visit and learn about the history and facts about North America, centuries before Columbus.

This book tells about the fact that ancient cities in North America were bigger than European cities in the same period with many contributions such as the Iroquois Confederacy and the Great Law of Peace. Readers are drawn to the interesting facts and may train them to be the new Indiana Jones to explore.
