Galloping the Globe - now with CD-ROM

Since Usborne's Book of Famous Lives is out of print what do you recommend I use to replace it?
Usborne's Book of Famous Lives was a compilation of 5 smaller Usborne books. Two books, Inventors and Explorers, cover about 50% of the references to Famous Lives listed by Galloping the Globe.

You may also check with your library for books on the same people at the appropriate level for your student.

We substituted other books and references on the more recent printings of Galloping the Globe.

Are the other books easy to find at the library or are they more obscure titles needing time and research?
Most books were found at the authors’ local library. You may need to check your library for availability or select from similar topics that your library has on their shelves. The intent of the authors was to make it fairly simple to find the resources to use the curriculum.

What other resources do I need?
The authors recommended a few core foundational books to have handy. They are not absolutely necessary to make use of Galloping the Globe since many book choices are available at your local library, but it does make planning easier. The following books are mentioned complete with page numbers throughout the curriculum for your convenience.

How many years can this unit study be used?
