The development of a school museum is an interesting project, which will give practical knowledge to the students about the problems of social development. Previously history, geography and civics were taught as different subjects, but gradually it was realized that the social environment of children involves the study of history, geography and civics and the involvement of students in this evolving process will prove to be of immense value.

Now-a-days, the role of teaching social studies has assumed new dimensions. Encyclopaedia Of Teaching Social Studies explains all important aspects of the subject matter in detail a lucid way which will prove useful for teachers and students.

The work is presented in three comprehensive yet compact volumes and includes the latest developments that have taken place in the recent past (less)

But when an argument in a blinding New England snowstorm inadvertently causes an accident that involves a stranger and her child, all Bernard Doyle cares about is his ability to keep his childrenall his childrensafe. Set over a period of twenty-four hours, Run takes us from the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard to a home for retired Catholic priests in downtown Boston.

It shows us how worlds of privilege and poverty can coexist only blocks apart from each other, and how family can include people you've never even met. As in her bestselling novel Bel Canto, Ann Patchett illustrates the humanity that connects disparate lives, weaving several stories into one surprising and endlessly moving narrative.

Suspenseful and stunningly executed, Run is ultimately a novel about secrets, duty, responsibility, and the lengths we will go to protect our children (less)

In fact, it was one of the favourite stories of the great Mughal Emperor Akbar. In the 16th century, when the thirteen-year old Emperor ascended the throne, he commissioned a grand illustration of the Hamzanama.

It took 100 artists over 15 years to complete the illustration and the inscription of the Hamzanama. The resulting manuscript included over 1400 magical paintings, which illustrated 360 tales.

Today only about 200 of these paintings are known to exist. The Kidnapping of Amir Hamza contains a retelling of one exciting tale from the Hamzanama.

It has been lavishly illustrated using the original paintings which Emperor Akbar enjoyed. The book introduces children to the creation of Mughal paintings in the chapter "Akbar's Painting Studio".

It also initiates them to ways of seeing Mughal art in the chapter "Be An Art Detective". The paintings in The Kidnapping of Amir Hamza belong to the MAK museum in Austria (less)
