Photographer Ken Heyman's and author Ann Morris' views of Houses and Homes around the world will help youngsters appreciate that the perfect place for families is whatever works best. Whether built for many or a few, resting firmly upon a foundation or floating free with the tide, in a neighborhood or alone, the more our homes differ, the more they are the same. A simple discussion of different kinds of houses and what makes them homes. Your contribution will help us to provide free books and literacy resources to children across the nation.
The writing was simple and to the point so you could really emphasize looking at the cool pictures! I think kids would really like this because it gives them an idea of how other kids around the world live. This book is a book about many people's enviroments around the world.

During the 19th century, the Rothschilds controlled the Rio Tinto mining corporation, and to this day, Rothschild and Rio Tinto maintain a close business relationship. In December 2009, Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild invested $200 million of his own money in a North Sea oil company. N M Rothschild & Sons, an English investment bank, does most of its business as an advisor for mergers and acquisitions. In 2004, the investment bank withdrew from the gold market, a commodity the Rothschild bankers had traded in for two centuries. In 2006, it ranked second in UK M&A with deals totalling $104.9 billion.
Company
Since 2003, a group of Rothschild banks have been controlled by Rothschild Continuation Holdings, a Swiss-registered holding company (under the chairmanship of Baron David René de Rothschild). Rothschild Continuation Holdings is in turn controlled by Concordia BV, a Dutch-registered master holding company. Concordia BV is managed by Paris Orléans S.A., a French-registered holding company. Is ultimately controlled by Rothschild Concordia SAS, a Rothschild's family holding company.
The compelling feature of this book is the setting which changes with each photograph. Along with each picture is a generalization that could be applied to just about any culture, lifestyle or economic means. Sometimes it is a difference, sometimes it is a similarity. Houses that stay in one place and houses that move from place to place. Some houses are made of wood or stone; others are made from mud or straw. But all of them are made for families to live in.
About the Author
While other Rothschilds had escaped the Nazis, Louis Rothschild was imprisoned for a year and only released after a substantial ransom was paid by his family. After Louis was allowed to leave the country in March 1939, the Nazis placed the firm of S M von Rothschild under compulsory administration. Nazi officers and senior staff from Austrian museums also emptied the Rothschild family estates of all their valuables. Following the war, the Austrian Rothschilds were unable to reclaim much of their former assets and properties. The system of the five brothers and their successor sons would all but disappear by World War I.
Ideas- This book has a general message about showing readers what types of homes people may live in all around the world. Tried a new homes - houses theme from a reference book. Went over okay, but not sure if I'll repeat next year.

The back of the book also shared the locations of the photographs used in the book. A survey of houses from all over the world, the different styles they can take, places they can be, and materials they are made from. This book would be very good whenever introducing a unit on other cultures or preparing to study one culture in particular.
M. Rothschild & Sons of London joined with other investors to acquire the Spanish government's money-losing Rio Tinto copper mines. The new owners restructured the company and turned it into a profitable business. By 1905, the Rothschild interest in Rio Tinto amounted to more than 30 percent. In 1887, the French and British Rothschild banking houses loaned money to, and invested in, the De Beers diamond mines in South Africa, becoming its largest shareholders. The item is very worn but continues to work perfectly.
