The What on Earth? Wallbook Timeline of Big History: The Incredible Story of Planet Earth from the Big Bang to the Present Day - Softcover

This is history let out of its box. It simply sings to info-philes and visual learners alike. With parallel timelines for all continents, developments on land, sky and sea, more than a thousand illustrations, it is a superlative mastery of design and research, a treat to eye and brain alike. Why couldn't history lessons at school be like this? Our whole family were glued to it from the moment we opened the package:"Mummy look a dinosaur, an Egyptian, a rocket, a Roman, a Viking boat... Daddy look we came from monkeys..." my five-year-old squealed, having just discovered evolution! My husband has demanded we put it up on our stairs so he can read it each time he walks past, but I might have it beside my bed for the first couple of weeks so I can read its 7000 word essay on the back. Incredible, rich, contextual history education for all the family - a wonderful gift for your family, friends, local school or library, and a must for home educators. In my view, this is education as it should be. Lucy Pearce, Juno Magazine

A unique fold-out timeline charting the history of the world from the beginning of time to the present day. Also includes a pocket magnifier and The Wallbook Chronicle that reports on more than 30 key moments from the timeline in the style of a newspaper. Ideal for children aged 7-14 but equally fascinating for all curious adults.
