Why did the Shang write on turtles? : and other questions about the Shang dynasty

Cooke, Tim, 1961-2021
Books, Manuscripts
Take a look at the wackier side of history! Who were the Shang people? Why did they love mud and moths? And just what made the Shang such fearsome warriors? This title answers all these questions and much more. With an engaging question and answer format, this series draws young readers into the fascinating, sometimes gruesome, world of famous peoples and civilisations through history. Each spread opens with a simple question, opening up an exploration of an aspect of the life of a people or civilisation and busting some popular myths along the way. The lively lay-out is supported by annotated photos and cartoons, making history fun and accessible for readers aged eight and over.
