Titre : Greeks, Romans, Countrymen Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Bentley Boyd, Auteur Editeur : Mount Vernon : Chester Comix, 2004 Collection : Chester the Crab's Comix With Content Description : 24 pages. Lieu d'édition : Williamsburg ISBN/ISSN : 978-1-933122-01-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Antiquité Alexandre le Grand Pompéi Résumé : Chapter 1: Greek Games
The Olympics of today are modeled after the games of ancient Greece. Greeks believed the games were a good way to train young men to be warriors. The Olympics also grew out of the competition between Greece’s city-states, which usually operated independently from each other because the rocky, mountainous land separated them. What will happen when Chester can only get home if he helps one Greek win an Olympic race?
Greek Games includes the following topics:
Where was Poseidon’s adventure?
Who invented democracy?
Which part is the Parthenon?
When was the first Olympic moment?
Who made all the world a stage?
Chapter 2: Alexander The Great
Ancient Greece has small, independent communities on different rocky islands in the Mediterranean Sea. One young, brash leader succeeds in uniting those cities and pushing the Greek empire across the hot sands of Persia and into India. How great will Alexander be?
Alexander the Great includes the following topics:
Who was Alexander the Great?
How did Alexander unite Greece?
When did Alexander conquer Egypt?
How did the Greeks beat King Darius?
How great was Alexander’s empire?
Chapter 3: Roman Legions
The Roman Empire rises to power after Alexander’s death and a gradual split of the Greek empire into pieces. Rome’s control is based on its powerful army, which carries Roman ideas and building techniques across the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. Chester finds that he can still walk some of the roads the Romans built hundreds of years ago…
Roman Legions includes the following topics:
Who wants to be a legionnaire?
Was Rome always a republic?
What people did Rome conquer?
Why were Roman arches important?
Quid novi? (or, “What’s new?”)
Chapter 4: Pompeii Perishes
One reason we know so much about Roman art and life is that the explosion of a volcano buries a whole Roman town, preserving its mosaics, sculpture, and paintings that the culture proudly displayed. But the Roman gods cannot save the people of Pompeii…
Pompeii Perishes includes the following topics:
How did rich Romans live in Pompeii?
How did Roman government work?
When did Vesuvius blow up?
What buried the Romans in Pompeii?Nature du document : Documentaire Greeks, Romans, Countrymen [texte imprimé] / Bentley Boyd, Auteur . - Mount Vernon : Chester Comix, 2004 . - 24 pages. Lieu d'édition : Williamsburg. - (Chester the Crab's Comix With Content) .

The Battle of Britain includes the following topics:
Who were isolationists before WWII?
How did World War II begin?
Who said Britain wouldn’t yield?
When was the Battle of Britain?

Chapter 2: Pearl Harbor
Americans know Britain is important to defeating Hitler’s powerful army. Britain practices democratic ideals as dark, totalitarian governments spread across the globe, promising easy answers to hard problems. But few Americans want to see American soldiers cross the oceans to stop those fascist governments. Americans don’t want to repeat the high cost of World War I’s fight in Europe. The trouble is, war clouds are now rising from Asia …
Pearl Harbor includes the following topics:
Where did the Japanese attack?
What happened December 7, 1941?
How badly was Pearl Harbor hit?
Did the Japanese attack California?
Chapter 3: Determined D-Day
1942 marks the greatest expansion of Adolph Hitler’s fascist empire. (Fascism is a political philosophy in which total power is given to a dictator and individual freedoms are denied.) Nazi troops control almost all of Europe and are pushing east into Russia towards valuable oil fields. Japan controls much of the Pacific Rim along Asia. The democratic Allies decide they must attack Hitler in Europe before they focus on fighting Japan. That means there will have to be an invasion onto the continent of Europe somewhere …
Determined D-Day includes the following topics:
When was the first World War II landing in France?
Where did the Allies practice invasions?
Why was D-Day launched on June 6, 1944?
What happened on the D-Day beaches?
Who won the battle for Normandy?
Chapter 4: The Pacific Island Hop
World War II in Europe is a classic kind of battle: big armies moving across fields and rivers. The war against Japan in the Pacific Ocean is very different. Here the Allies must fight on tiny, rocky islands where the Japanese have prepared fierce defenses. Naval and air power are more important than tanks here. But Americans are determined to travel island to island until they get to the ultimate island fortress: Japan itself!
The Pacific Island Hop includes the following:
Who did the World War II island hop?
Why did the U.S. hop islands in World War II?
Who returned to the Philippines?
Why were Iwo Jima and Okinawa vital?
Why did Harry Truman drop the bomb?Nature du document : Documentaire World War 2 Tales [texte imprimé] / Bentley Boyd, Auteur . - Mount Vernon : Chester Comix, 2005 . - 24 pages. Lieu d'édition : Williamsburg. - (Chester the Crab's Comix With Content) .
