The What on Earth? Wallbook Timeline of Big History by Christopher Lloyd

The What on Earth? Wallbook Timeline of Big History by Christopher Lloyd

IMAGINE TAKING a trip through the history of everything from the beginning of the universe to the present day! This unique 'big history' wallbook includes a 2 metre-long fold-out timeline containing more than 1,000 pictures and captions that tell the story of the history of the world. The timeline is divided into 12 sections covering both natural history as well as the history of human civilisations in each of the world's continents. Readers can easily compare what was happening across the world at any given moment in time. The Wallbook also includes the Wallbook Chronicle which reports on more than 30 key moments from the timeline in the style of a newspaper. Also includes a crossword, letters to the editor, 50-question quiz and pocket magnifier. Perfect for 7-14 year olds but equally fascinating for all curious adults.

This is history let out of its boxIt 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
