100 Greatest - Tapa dura

A young readers's reference aiming toward the grade level five mind by combining clear, age appropriate textual entries with jazzy color illustrations, photographs, informative sidebars, puzzles, quizzes and games. Each volume in the set of 12 features the "100 Greatest" of its subject, an interesting ploy to catch the interest of both young and old intellects, (We went straight to the tyrants to see if our favorites were included) and covers achievers, achievements, events and discoveries under the categories of men, women, sports champions, tyrants, explorers, medical discoveries, archaeological discoveries, disasters, manmade wonders, natural wonders, inventions, and amazing animals.
