Six volumes

This is a six-volume set of illustrated reference books--not for high schoolers, but for late grammar and/or early middle school children. It was first published in Milan, Italy by Jaca Books and reissued in an English translation by Macmillan Library Reference. The six books are (in this order) The First People, The First Settlers, Cradles of Civilization, The First Europeans, Civilizations of Asia, and Civilizations of America. Each volume includes about 14 short chapters, and is exactly 64 pages long, including the robust index and glossary. The books are great for young researchers, but in no way suitable for high school students. And the books are at most worth $15 each.
