Pangu is the mythological Chinese story of how the universe began from the primordial egg. From this egg, cosmic forces churn producing Pangu. As Pangu grows into a man he cuts open the egg with an axe setting into motion the creation of Heaven and Earth. As the story continues one learns how land features were formed from different parts of Pangu's body helping children to make simple comparisons between Earth and Life Sciences.In addition, this book is designed to introduce elementary school children to myths and Chinese culture. This book is designed to integrate aspects of World History with Literature. This edition includes comprehension questions after the reading that will get children thinking. Each question is designed to not only reflect on what has been read, but also come up with intuitive answers.

Just about every civilization has stories of creation. The myths and legends of the ancient Greeks and Romans are very well known, but these 12 myths from ancient China are just as fascinating. Between Pangu separating the sky from the earth and the Northern Emperor separating man from gods, we have an array of deities as busy and colorful as those in Greek and Roman myths. They create men out of clay, mend the broken sky after the flood, and shoot down suns so that life on earth will not die. Inspired by the art of the Ming Dynasty, this is a wonderful collection of Chinese myths of creation, illustrated by award-winning artist Song Nan Zhang.

Michael Witzel persuasively demonstrates the prehistoric origins of most of the mythologies of Eurasia and the Americas ('Laurasia').

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. This book is about a strange object-strange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walker's Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common object-egg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
