Fagbøger for børn og unge: bygninger og byggeri

Broer kan være høje eller lave, lige eller buede, nye eller gamle.De har dog alle sammen én ting til fælles: Broer forbinder.Både mennesker og verdener.Tag med forfatter og illustrator Marc Majewski på en fortryllende rejse til nogle af de mest fantastiske broer i hele verden.Lige fra den tårnhøje Millau-viadukt i Frankrig, som er højere end selve Eiffeltårnet, til den iøjnefaldende Golden Gate Bridge i USA, som er malet i en stærk orange farve, så alle skibe nemt kan se den. Nogle broer skjuler sig mere, som Umshiang Double-Decker Root Bridge i Indien, som er en levende bro af rødder, der gror sig stærkere år efter år, eller Moses-broen i Holland, som næsten er helt usynlig, hvis man ikke kigger rigtig godt efter.

Antes del arribo de los españoles a América, distintas culturas florecieron desde las gélidas latitudes de hielo, hasta las profundas selvas encumbradas del sur de los Andes. En este libro 18 niños de 18 culturas diferentes nos cuentan porqué su ciudad es la más bella del mundo. Hay ciudades hechas de nieve, de barro, de cuero, de piedras, o hasta de hojas. Hay ciudades hechas para durar mil años y otras que sólo duran uno o dos días. Están los Inuit, los Sioux, los Anazasi, los Aztecas, los Teotihuacanes, los Mayas, los Zenúes, los Panches, los Muiscas, los Amazónicos, los Tupak Makú, los Chimú, los Nazcas, los Incas, los Uros, y otros.Al explicarnos porqué su ciudad es la más bella nos dejan ver qué comen, qué piensan, en qué creen, cómo es su sociedad, cómo visten, quién manda, cómo hacen la guerra, cómo son sus enemigos, cómo es el paisaje en el que viven, en fin, nos dan una completa radiografía de su cultura. Algunas de estas culturas están extintas otras aún existen. Algunas eran avanzadas y grandes imperios, otras apenas recolectores y cazadores. Algunas vivían en lo más alto de las cumbres, otras en medio de las selvas calurosas. Algunas ciudades podrían moverse, otras eran tan pesadas como las enormes rocas con que las construyeron. Una forma fácil y divertida de acercarse a la herencia cultural de América, un territorio en que las ciudades eran mucho más que sólo amontonamiento de edificios en cruces de caminos.Especial para niños con gran curiosidad e imaginación. Despertaré en ellos la tolerancia, identificarán la diferencia, aprenderán el respeto a los demás.
