Free Download Nena Galanidou, "Telling Children About the Past: An Interdisciplinary Perspective "
English | ISBN: 1879621401 | 2007 | 324 pages | PDF | 15 MB
This book brings together archeologists, historians, psychologists, and educators from different countries and academic traditions to address the many ways that we tell children about the (distant) past.
