內容簡介
《美國學生世界曆史(英漢雙語·套裝上下冊)》讓孩子知道一些他們來到這世界之前就已經發生的事情;帶孩子走齣以自我為中心、封閉在傢的生活,這種生活顯得過於重要,因為太貼近,就成為孩子們眼中的一切,使他們看不到外麵的世界;開闊孩子的眼界,拓寬他們的視野,將過去時代的曆史畫麵展現在他們麵前;讓他們熟悉曆史上一些重大事件和偉人的名字,並把這些事和人在時間和空間上確定下來,作為將來係統學習的基礎;嚮孩子提供一份曆史編年檔案,並附有要覽,這樣他們今後學習曆史就可以參照這份檔案。
以上所述就是寫這一本世界曆史故事的宗旨——維吉爾·M·希利爾。
作者簡介
維吉爾·M·希利爾(Virgil Mores Hillyer,1875-1931),1875年齣生於美國馬薩諸塞州韋茅斯,他在華盛頓特區的"國會山"度過其童年,畢業於美國哈佛大學。他是美國著名教育傢、卡爾佛特學校首任校長、美國傢庭學校(HOMESCHOOL)課程體係創建者。
作為一位教育革新者,希利爾在美國國內和國際上獲得瞭廣泛聲譽和影響力。他從事教育工作的同時,親自為孩子們編寫教材,在課堂上試講並修訂,受到學校和學生們的贊譽,不少教材至今仍被學校使用。如《美國學生世界地理》、《美國學生世界曆史》、《美國學生藝術史》等。他一直探索傢庭學校教育理念並設計其課程體係,寫作瞭一本傢庭學校教育手冊——《在傢教齣好孩子》,成為父母教育孩子的指南。

精彩書評
昨天一路繼續閱讀《美國學生世界曆史》,全部讀完。全書整體來說是本好書,就像我前麵說過的那樣,語言簡潔,生動有趣,曆史脈絡清晰,從遠古一直講到現代。但也有一個明顯缺陷,就是站在西方人的立場上書寫曆史,整本書與其說是世界曆史,不如說是歐美曆史比較確切。
但不管怎樣,這本書(實際上是一個係列書籍,包括瞭曆史、地理、文藝等)依然值得大傢一讀,輕鬆瞭解除東方外的世界曆史和文明發展脈絡。該書也適閤我們的孩子一讀,能夠開闊孩子的視野,增加孩子必備的曆史知識,尤其能夠培養孩子的曆史格局觀。到現在為止,在我所知的範圍內,好像中國還沒有一本真正有趣的,專門為孩子們寫的世界曆史和中國曆史的好書。我們的曆史觀,受製於各種教條,總忘不瞭歸類、批判和灌輸,而不是輕鬆地敘述和公正地把握人類文明發展的路徑。

People Who Lived in Caves 穴居人
How do you suppose I know about all these things that took place so long ago?
I don't.
I'm only guessing about them.
But there are different kinds of guesses. If I hold out my two closed hands and ask you to guess which one has the penny in it, that is one kind of a guess.
Your guess might be right or it might be wrong. It would be just luck.
But there is another kind of guess. When there is snow on the ground and I see tracks of a boot in the snow, I guess that a person must have passed by, for boots don't usually walk without someone in them. That kind of guess is not just luck but common sense.
So we can guess about a great many things that have taken place long ago, even though there was no one there at the time to see them or tell about them.
We have dug down deep under the ground in different parts of the world and have found there-what do you suppose?
I don't believe you would ever guess.
We have found the heads of arrows and spears and hatchets.
The peculiar thing about these arrows and spears and hatchets is that they are not made of iron or steel, as you might expect, but of stone.
Now, we are sure that only human beings could have made and used such things, for birds and fish or other animals do not use hatchets or spears. We are also sure that these people must have lived long, long years ago before iron and steel were known, because it must have taken long, long years for these things to have become covered up so deep by dust and dirt. We have also found the bones of the people themselves, who died several million years ago, long before anyone began to write down history. The oldest bones we have ever found were in East Africa. We know that people long ago were working and playing, eating and fighting-doing many of the same things we are today-especially the fighting.
This time in the prehistory of the world, when people used such things made of stone, is therefore called the Stone Age.
Life was hard for Stone Age people. They didn't have all the things we are used to having today.
Some wild animals make houses. Foxes dig holes, beavers make houses of sticks and mud. These first people probably had no houses of any sort in which to live. They simply found any shelter they could. They found caves in the rocks or in the hillsides where they could get away from the cold and storms and wild animals. So men, women, and children of this time were called Cave People.
They spent their days hunting some animals and running and hiding from others. They caught animals by trapping them in a pit covered over with bushes, or they killed them with a club or a rock if they had a chance, or with stone headed arrows or hatchets. They even painted or cut pictures of these animals on the walls of their caves. Some of these pictures we can still see today.
They lived on berries and nuts and seeds. They robbed the nests of birds for the eggs, which they ate raw, for at first they had no fire with which to cook.
They liked to drink the warm blood of animals they killed, as you would a glass of milk.
They talked to each other by some sort of grunts or very simple words. They made clothes of skins of animals they killed, for there was no such thing as cloth.
These early people must have spent most of their time hunting for food or trying to get away from animals hunting them for food. They had no thick hide like an elephant to protect them; they did not grow a coat of fur like a bear to keep them warm; they could not run very fast, like a deer to escape their enemies; they were no match for an animal with sharp teeth and claws and strong muscles like a lion. It's a wonder any of them lived to grow up.
Stone Age people had two things that helped them more than sharp claws, or strong muscles, or tough skins. They had better brains than the animals. And they had hands instead of front feet. With their brains they could think. They could think of ways of
