What reading level is Other Times And Other Seasons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The invention of the art of ship-build- ing, Noah's Ark being accepted as mere- ly a floating house, is attributed by some authorities to the Egyptians, the first ship brought from Egypt into Greece arriving, as is claimed, in the year 1485 B.C. ; but navigation, according to other authorities, owes its origin to the early Phoenicians, and ships are mentioned by Moses, Job, and Balaam. Necho, or Neku, who reigned in Egypt between 616 and 600 B.C. , began, according to Herodotus, to dig a canal ...which was to connect the 5« Nile with the Red Sea ; but he was ad- monished by an oracle to give the under- taking up, after a hundred and twenty thousand men had perished in the work, and he sent certain vessels, manned by Phoenicians, to circumnavigate Africa and to reach the Red Sea in a more round- about way. This they accomplished in the course of three years.
The general system of navigation in ancient days, we are told, whether the vessel was impelled by oars or by sails, was to keep close to the shore, and never to venture into the open sea, except in order to reach an island or to cross a channel of moderate width.
