Tessloff WAS IST WAS Band 145 Versunkene Schätze. Von Atlantis bis Titanic

Whether diving into the pirate city of Port Royal or the famous Titanic, whether exploring a sunken Stone Age site or a lost warship – this book brings stories from the past back to life and allows children to engage with cutting-edge research knowledge.
