| Summary | Annotation Providing a panorama of little-known information about the rich inventiveness of indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America, each of the five books in the American Indian Contributions to the World set introduces young readers to the many important inventions and discoveries made throughout history. From the popcorn popper, chocolate, and potatoes to igloos and kayaks, from geometry, zero, and sign language to insect repellents, blowguns, and hockey, these engaging references cover everything in fascinating detail. Box features highlight special themes, inventions, and people, and numerous black-and-white photographs and detailed maps make each book visually stimulating. Time lines at the end of most chapters, a glossary of ancient cultures, an appendix of maps, an appendix listing tribes by culture area, a further reading list, and a comprehensive index make these easy-to-use books invaluable references for young readers.
