Features: This book was selected as part of the 1998 "Top 100 Best Books for Elementary School Students" series by the Central Daily News of South Korea. It is a comic textbook that compiles cultural heritage from around the world, presented in an easy-to-understand format. It immerses elementary students in real-world learning environments such as ancient cultural heritage sites, mountains, rivers, parks, and tourist attractions, allowing them to fully experience the thousands of years of history and the wisdom of their ancestors—something they cannot in a classroom. Among the legacies left by human ancestors, cultural heritage is the most precious. World cultural heritage is imbued with the breath of humanity and records the footprints of history. Just as one cannot forge the future without understanding history, one cannot claim to be cultured without knowing cultural heritage. UNESCO designates and protects world cultural heritage sites that hold shared preservation value worldwide. We have searched for and studied world cultural heritage, compiling it into this book. It covers cultural heritage from ancient times to the present day across various countries, divided into four volumes: Asia, Asia·Oceania·Africa, Europe, and Europe·Americas. Additionally, due to the richness of cultural heritage in Asia and Europe, some countries from these continents have been included in the Oceania·Africa and Americas volumes, respectively. Furthermore, to maximize the reproduction of history, this book uses numerous photographs and references various interpretations and vivid images of ancient architecture, enabling readers to vividly experience the history of human civilization. When used well, each volume can serve as a valuable learning resource. If all four volumes are collected, they can become an excellent cultural heritage dictionary.
