South and Central America looks at the features of the indigenous cultures prior to colonisation by the Spanish. It then examines the nature and impact of colonisation. With particular emphasis on the Aztec and Inca societies, South and Central America examines social groups and classes, government and law, industry and trade, education, religion and beliefs, environment and architecture including the ancient cities of Tenochtitlan and Machu Picchu, and aspects of daily life such as food, housing and clothing. The book is full colour throughout, draws on a wide range of sources and contains learning outcomes and focus issues. The activities will help to build students' historical skills while ensuring that history remains fun!
