{"product_id":"beginnings-earth-sky-life-death-stories-ancient-and-modern-2","title":"Beginnings: Earth, Sky, Life, Death: Stories, Ancient and Modern","description":"From nearly a score of racial, national, and religious groups, and from both ancient myths and modern science, are taken these fascinating stories of how things began. The come from the Australian Aborigines, the African Bushmen, the Mayan Indians, the Chinese, the Greeks, the Japanese, the Hebrews, and from many others. The speculation of modern scientists about the origins of the universe and the evolution of life are also included. This book is especially written for youngsters of nine, ten, and eleven. If children are introduced to these stories at a time when they are studying history in school, they begin to realize that not only nations and cities have a history, but that religion also has its origin in past human experience. Here is a simple and exciting introduction to comparative religion. The child soon sees that the myths and legends are something more than strange tales, that they have basic ideas behind them – and that there is some truth in them all.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000V4TB4Q\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.B000V4TB4Q.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sophia Lyon Fahs|Dorothy Spoerl|Gobin Stair\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is a well used but readable copy.
