I read these National Geographic history books with my 4th grade son in the evenings. The pictures are great, the text is well written, informative, and we both learn something without it being ... dry. It is especially fun to talk about when the greats lived in relation to each other and other historical events. Looks like Galileo was trying to convince the Catholic church that the sun, not earth, was the center of the solar system just about the same time settlers were arriving in Jamestown. Academic debate versus practical use of powers of observation...
