This fun, quirky, and engaging fully illustrated history anthology features twenty-five amazing and terrifying rulers for middle grade readers to discover.
We've heard of Alexander the Great. We've heard of Ivan the Terrible. But what was so Great about Alexander? What was so Terrible about Ivan? Spanning centuries of history in a culturally diverse framework-from ancient India to nineteenth-century Hawaii, and with a balanced focus on notorious women rulers as well as male, The Great and the Terrible takes a humorous look at some of the most glorious and notorious figures in history through the lens of the nicknames they're remembered by.

While some of the characters mentioned here are more prominent in world history (Cyrus the Great introduced the world's first human rights charter), others are well known only within their own cultures. The Great and the Terrible gives middle-grade readers an opportunity to dip into the breadth of world history, sampling its cultural diversity and its stranger-than-fiction historical exploits, with a mix of the sensational and the serious. It helps to correct the imbalance in many history books that currently only focus on Western Civilization, shining the spotlight on achievements (and foibles) in many different cultures.

The perfect work shoe
Size: 13, Color: Black Leather
I wear dress shoes everyday and I’m on my feet a lot. My wife is the same way and would always praise Clarks, but I didn’t think much of it. I’d always get Nunn Bush or something like that, but they weren’t comfortable or last very long. I happened to be at a Clarks store that was closing one time and picked up a pair of these and boy did everything change that day. Not only are they comfortable they last a long time. I get about one pair a year. That doesn’t mean they only last a year, I just try to keep a nice looking pair. I can wear them all day and my feet don’t hurt. And you get all the comfort without the bulkiness of other comfort footwear companies. They fit nice and don’t pinch or rub anywhere. They are definitely worth the full price, but they go on sale regularly to an even better deal so keep an eye out.

Classic elegance with unmatched comfort
Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather, Size: 11 Wide, Color: Black Leather
I recently purchased the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed. These shoes effortlessly blend classic elegance with unmatched comfort, making them a perfect addition to any wardrobe. The first thing that caught my attention was the timeless design. The Oxfords feature a sleek silhouette and high-quality leather craftsmanship that exude sophistication. Whether paired with formal attire or dressed down for a more casual look, these shoes consistently elevate my style. Beyond their aesthetics, the comfort level is exceptional. The cushioned insole provides excellent support throughout the day, making them ideal for long hours on my feet. Additionally, the outsole offers a confident grip, ensuring stability on various surfaces. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the stitching and overall construction. It's evident that Clarks prioritizes durability, and I believe these shoes will stand the test of time. One minor aspect worth mentioning is the initial break-in period. Like most high-quality leather shoes, they required a few wears to conform to my feet perfectly. However, once they molded, the fit became incredibly comfortable. In conclusion, the Clarks Men's Oxford shoes offer a winning combination of style, comfort, and durability. Whether for formal events or daily wear, they consistently deliver a polished and refined look. I highly recommend these Oxfords to anyone seeking a timeless and reliable footwear option.

Great shoe for the price
Size: 9, Color: Black
My son needed a dressy pair of shoes. Decided to try these for the price. He loves them and has worn them several times. They still look great and he says they're comfortable. We ordered his regular size and it fit perfect. We’re very happy with this purchase.
