The Fifth Kingdom Online
     This a pictorial supplement of the book The Fifth Kingdom (by Bryce Kendrick), which provides a succinct view of many of the topics you will study this semester.    The book (available on reserve at the library) itself may be useful in supplementing your studies.  (the website less so, since it's mostly just color pictures)  The book can make the difference in overcoming any difficulty in understanding certain concepts.
