{"product_id":"book-cdhh","title":"The World Made New","description":"Imagine your shock at waking up one morning to a fleet of enormous, otherworldly craft looming over you. And when bizarre aliens begin to emerge-speaking strange gibberish-your heart races even faster. Similar fears may have gripped New World inhabitants when diverse civilizations-separated by a vast ocean-first met. American natives once knew nothing of towering ships, galloping horses, thundering guns, or smallpox. From 1492 onward, however, waves of adventurers would give them a cruel introduction. And yet, ultimately, New World dwellers-together with their Old World counterparts-would become transformed by these global connections. Historian and author Marc Aronson-a Library Journal Best Book honoree and a Robert F. Sibert Award winner for excellence in nonfiction-teams up with John W. Glenn to give kids and their parents a fresh perspective on New World exploration. \"Add this to Aronson's growing body of fine historical works that are changing how young readers think about history.\"-Kirkus Reviews \"This splendid, exciting . account of the Age of Exploration relates events so dramatic that they would have been dismissed as implausible fiction if they hadn't actually happened. Don't think of this as 'just' a book for kids: children's parents will find it equally gripping and informative.\"-Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize-winning UCLA professor","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49388843434288,"sku":"BDcdhh","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49388843467056,"sku":"ZEcdhh","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/252867-cdhh-Square.jpg?v=1735233169","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cdhh","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
