The Emperor Justinian could not decide what to do. His people were
rioting. An angry mob poured through the streets, looting, setting
fires, and destroying houses and taverns. If they reached the
palace, they might kill him. Justinian's trusted advisers pressed
him to run to the port and sail away, giving up his throne to save
his life. He turned and looked at his wife, the wisest person in
the room. What would she, the Empress Theodora, urge him to do?
This unabridged reading by Jim Weiss of the book is 26 minutes on
one audio CD, giving second-grade readers insight into the life of
this 6th century ruler. About the series: The classical curriculum
introduces even the youngest student to the pleasures of true
learning. Elementary students learn history not through predigested
textbooks with multiple-choice answers, but through reading the
stories of history. Unfortunately, biographies of great men and
women of the past are almost all written for older students,
limiting the ability of young students to explore history through
reading. Libraries are crammed with biographies written for high
school students and adults--while beginning readers are provided
with a shelf full of junior-level books about football players,
NASCAR drivers, and movie stars. Now, Peace Hill Press puts real
history back into the grasp of the youngest historians with the Who
in the World Biography Series. The entries in the series provide
young readers and their parents and teachers with biographies of
great men and women of the Middle Ages. Designed to be used as part
of The Story of the World curriculum, these biographies give
beginning historians in grades 2-4 a chance to explore beyond the
textbook. The accompanying book is also available separately.
This spirited reading of the first in Susan Wise Bauer's Story of
the World history series brings to life the stories and records of
the peoples of ancient times. Now more than ever, other countries
and customs affect our everyday lives-and our children need to
learn about the people who live all around the globe. Susan Wise
Bauer has provided a captivating guide to the history of the
ancient world. Written in an engaging, straightforward manner, The
Story of the World weaves world history into a storybook format.
This volume covers the major historical events from the years 1600
to 1850--from Elizabeth I to the gold rush in California. Newly
revised to accompany the revised edition of the acclaimed text, the
Story of the World audiobook is a collaboration between Jim Weiss,
whose voice has been described as "liquid gold" (CNN-TV), and Susan
Wise Bauer, whose writing has been described as "timeless and
intelligent" (Publishers Weekly). This audio edition may be used
along with the print books (The Story of the World Volume 3 Text
Book, Activity Book, and Tests; each sold separately), as a
supplement to a traditional history curriculum, or independently.
