Witness the richness of the civilisations of ancient India, China and Southeast Asia in The Living Past: History of Ancient India, China and Southeast Asia.
Developed to meet the new syllabus requirements set by the Ministry of Education, this textbook forms one of the components of The Living past package. Thematically organised, significant aspects of the three civilisations are highlighted through interesting topics, such as Religions and Philosophies, Science and the Arts, and Internal and External Threats.
This textbook offers more than just historical facts and explanations.
* Students are encouraged to extend their thinking beyond the text through source questions that have been carefully formulated.
*The link between the ancient world of our forefathers and modern Singapore is clearly brought out in the 'About Singapore' feature which occurs throughout the book.
Beautiful photographs, topical timelines at the beginning of each chapter and full timelines of the three civilisations at the end of the book all add to an understanding and appreciation of the ancient past of India, China and Southeast Asia.
