Author(s): BUTTON BOOKS

Junior Non-fiction | History

Factology: Romans is a fact-packed introduction to this iconic time in history, presented in maps, timelines, diagrams and statistics.
Did you know that a gladiator fight only ended when one of the combatants died or called for mercy? Travel through time to explore one of history's most stupendous superpowers: Ancient Rome. They were mind-bogglingly mean and incredibly inventive at the same time.
This visually stunning history guide takes readers on an adventure across the vast Roman empire, including their awesome architecture, wondrous waterways and legendary legions. Be shocked by their brutal treatment of barbarians and slaves. There are needy gods, evil emperors, stinky sewers, careening chariots and much more!
Each volume in the Factology series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining.
 


Product Information

Each book is brimming with facts, colour photography and illustration. With cool layouts and fun quizes they are so immersive and make for fantastic resources for learning. They will be a welcome addition to the children's classroom. -- @raising_bookworms * 21/03/2024 * The Factology series is an incredible brand-new series of non-fiction books. Each one is beautifully presented in such an engaging way and contains maps, timelines, statistics and over 500 illustrations. Last year we read and enjoyed the other titles in the series (Egypt, Space, The Human Body, Bugs) so we were excited to add these new books to our collection! Each book is brimming with facts and answers some fascinating questions. * @family_book_club * These are a fun way to learn and rush through an incredible range of topics. In Romans we are introduced to the lives of the immensely powerful rulers as well as that of the slaves. We all thought that slaves were conquered tribes but you could also be put into slavery for falling into debt, so probably a good idea to be on good terms with the bank manager. * Happy Families blog * Each of these new titles in the series offers a fact-packed, fast paced introduction to the topic. Individual readers will choose according to their interest or perhaps on account of a current subject focus in their school. For instance the key stage 2 national curriculum requires that children learn about the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. Each has full-colour photographs and illustrations together with an accessible, easy-to-follow, bite-sized text that offers a good introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is both clear and entertaining. I would advocate including all three books in both primary and secondary school collections. -- Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub * Have you heard of the new educational series by Button Books - the Factology Series? They are brimming with facts for inquisitive and enquiring young minds and full of illustrations, activities and things to do! Latest to the series are books on dinosaurs, robots and romans! * @homeplayexplore * There's three brilliant new books in the Factology series from Button Books [@gmcpublications ] Recommended for KS2 Discover more about dinosaurs, revel in Roman life or explore aspects of AI and robotics in these three new titles. Packed with information, there's so much to learn on each page, all presented in a really engaging way for readers young and old. They make a great addition to the classroom and several cover popular science and history themes.
