twoblessings Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 We are going to be doing BJU Geography in the fall and I would like to supplement with good living books thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 For a general geography overview, try Voyages and Travels: Ancient and Modern by William Eliot (this is a really old book--like 1910--with various explorers' travels in their own words) or East to West: Journey Around the World by Arnold Toynbee (1959 historians's travel journal). I got these ideas from All Through the Ages--a book of booklists by topic. It also has lists by continent which yo umay want to check out for more ideas.

Brenda in MA Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 is Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne. We listened to this on CD on a car trip a few years ago and really enjoyed it. HTH, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 We are doing BJU Geography with living books next year for oldest!! We are anxiously waiting for all the components of the new BJU Cultural Geography to be available. I really like the look of it. We are going to definitely do Around the World in 80 Days.
