Gr 4-7-The four short chapters in each book are profusely illustrated with black-and-white and color photos, drawings, and reproductions. Hempstead places each landmark or building in historical context-for example, addressing such topics as the origin of the Supreme Court and the 1814 White House fire. Sidebars add information on a range of topics including why the capital is on the Potomac River and the use and meaning of "oyez" in the courtroom. These titles are similar to volumes in the "American Symbols and Their Meanings" series (Mason Crest); they include much more information than books in the "Symbols of Freedom" series (Heinemann Library).-Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.Book Details
