The discoveries of ancient China / Janey Levy.

Levy, Janey, (author.).

Summary:

"China is frequently in the news today. It may be presented as an exotic place to travel-or as an economic opponent on the world stage. But few really understand China's history and how its discoveries and inventions have shaped our world. Did you drink tea, use a fork, or read a newspaper this morning? You can thank the Chinese! This absorbing volume will astonish readers as they uncover the many inventions and discoveries of the ancient Chinese. Assiduously researched text highlights important social studies concepts, while dazzling images bring the text to life. Captions, fact boxes, sidebars, and graphic organizers enrich the main text"-- Provided by publisher.
