The Way People Live is a non-fiction series for young readers that explores what everyday life was like in different times and places. Twenty-four books published between 1994 and 2005 cover topics as varied as life in ancient Athens, on the Oregon Trail, among pirates, in the Warsaw Ghetto, and in modern Tokyo.
The series gives young readers a ground-level view of history and culture, focusing on how ordinary people lived rather than on leaders and events.
