laurad1125 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 We will start using TOG Y1 Unit 4 on Monday. It references the Usborne Internet Linked Encyclopedia of the Ancient World. Other years use various appropriate UILEs (ex. - Usborne Internet-Linked Medieval World.) I have the UILE of World History which covers all of the time periods, which I want to substitute. My question is - does anyone know if the big volume is just a collection of the other volumes? Are the pages the same and in the same order so I could just go to the 20th page in the Ancient World section of the large book when told to go to page 20 of the Ancient World specific smaller book? The learning curve on TOG has been steep (but I ADORE it so far - the teacher's notes and discussion guides are fabulous!) and I really don't want to figure out which page goes with which topic. :nopity: I will, but don't want to...

Rhonda in TX Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 cbd.com has the table of contents of Usborne IL Ancient World. You can see it (and sample pages) here. I compared it to my copy of Usborne IL World history. You can't do a one-for-one substitution. World history spends about 94 pages on the ancient world. Ancient history is about 198 pages long. There appears to be a lot more detail/information in the ancient history book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 According to Usborne yes it is. You will find the history of the world from the Big Bang to the year 2000, covering the major civilizations, rulers and events. The book paints vivid picture of everyday life over thousands of years and includes: Clear descriptions of historical events -- Reconstructions of exciting scenes throughout history -- Fascinating illustrations -- Over 100 maps -- 12000-year illustrated timechart. This combined volume includes: Ancient World, Medieval World, Prehistoric World, and The Last 500 Years. The paperback version of this title is 7 1/2 X 9 1/2 in size with slightly smaller text.

razorbackmama Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 According to Usborne yes it is. Heather That's a different Ancient World. (That's one of the things that drives me bonkers about Usborne LOL - too similar of titles!) The IL Encyclopedia of World History does not contain the Encyclopedia of the Ancient World that TOG uses.

laurad1125 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 :ack2: I'm going to have to actually read the text aren't I? Oh well. Seriously though, I do appreciate the help. I didn't think about looking for a preview online. Duh! Apparently, I need to do some school work myself! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PollyOR Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thank you for this thread and for the links! I have been very confused myself. :001_huh: I have an older Usborne World History Ancient World and was wondering if it would work. After looking at the table of contents at cbd.com, I realized that it won't. My homeschool budget has gone through the roof this year :blink:. Oh well, what's another $17 when you're this far in the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yes Usborne really needs some help in the naming department. I already coordinated KIWH, so I will probably just use that one. :D Heather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurad1125 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 I finally broke down and bought the book recommended by TOG. I love it. It's got depth of information but at a level my ds10 can understand. And I paid $13 on amazon for it - 400 pages - not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
