People first domesticated wild animals and plants more than10,000 years ago. The first peoples of North America quickly learned to farm using hand- and animal-power. As technology developed, farming machines were invented. These helped develop farming in many regions of North America previously too difficult to cultivate. From 1840 to 1880, Wisconsin USA became the breadbasket of America, and crop- and livestock-farming developed quickly. The village of Monticello is famous for its dairy farming and cheese. The community is still largely based on this. It has a population of about 1,200 people and is the focus of this book about life in a farming community.

This title looks at offshore fishing. Around the coast of much of North America, fishing stocks have greatly declined as a result of overfishing, pollution, and global warming. Nova Scotia, in the northeast of Canada, once had a huge fishing industry. In 1753, people from Germany, Switzerland, and France came from Europe to set up colony at Lunenburg on the coast. They soon set up a fishing and shipbuilding industry. The community grew until about 1980, when the fishing industry largely stopped. Since then, the community has had to reinvent itself. It is still largely based on the old industries, but tourism is as important.

Trees were one of the first natural resources used by man. In North American, most native and early European settlements were set up near forests from where wood was harvested for firewood, building homes and boats, and for fortifying villages.

Explores the roles and relationships of spirits in Native American myths and retells some ancient myths, describing how the people used them to interpret their world. From School Library Journal: Gr 5-7-This is an attractive and well-designed series. Unfortunately the strict format severely limits its function. Each book presents the same topics in exactly the same way. The self-contained spreads do not carry information over a page turn, which creates an abrupt, stilted style. Readers are given ruthlessly summarized versions of the myths and legends that neither inform nor inspire, and the explanations are likewise loose or poorly connected due to the space limitations. Native American Myths is the most egregious title, since it attempts to present the disparate mythologies of thousands of different tribes, a scope that is impossible to fulfill in a substantial way. In each volume, page seven includes a map regardless of whether or not it provides meaningful engagement with the text. In Mesoamerican Myths, it defines the lands and "sites" of the three main cultures addressed in the book: Olmec, Maya, and Aztec. No definition or explanation is given as to what these sites mean or why they occur outside a given culture's territory. In Native American Myths, it shows the main geographical regions of North America and indicates that, "Native peoples and tribes are usually referred to by region." However, the regional groups described in the text do not correspond with the legend on the map. Because it deals with a single culture, Norse Myths fares the best, but even so would be of little use to readers unless they were already familiar with the literature. Readers will gain little understanding of these myths here.-Anna Haase Krueger, Ramsey County Library, White Bear Lake, MNα(c) Copyright 2013.
