Product Description The perfect cross-curricular home-learning resource for children aged 6 - 14Explore the story of the world from the Big Bang to the present day, in this unique fold-out timeline book that brings history to life! The timeline includes over 1,000 illustrations and captions, and is uniquely divided into 12 sections. These cover Natural History (Space, Sea, Sky and Land) as well as Human History (Europe, the Americas, Asia, Middle East & North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Australasia), with a timeline running along the bottom. From the formation of the Earth to the invention of the smartphone, the nearly 6-foot long fold-out timeline allows you to compare events across the world at any given moment in time – making this a wonderful cross-curricular, all-encompassing history tool for the whole family! Created in association with the American Museum of Natural History, the timeline also includes an easy-to-read chronicle, written in the form of 30 newspaper articles. These examine the key moments in history in greater detail, such as the rise and fall of Rome and the invention of the steam engine. Other features include a page of letters to the editor and a 50-question quiz. This timeline is essential for all curious minds in a world where loving learning matters more than ever before. It is perfect for 6–14 year olds, and for history lovers of any age! You can enjoy this timeline many ways: unfolding it on the floor, reading it like a book or detaching it to stick it to the wall. Also in the Timeline Wallbook Series: The Wallbook Timeline Collection - A boxed set of the Big History, Nature and Science Timeline Wallbooks The Nature Timeline Wallbook - the story of the natural world from the dawn of life 4 billion years ago to the present day The Science Timeline Wallbook - the history of scientific discoveries from the Stone Ages to the present day The Shakespeare Timeline Wallbook - the life and 38 plays of the world’s most famous bard: William Shakespeare From School Library Journal Gr 3–6—This oversize time line of the origins of the universe will capture the attention of students. Six feet of world history are illustrated and illuminated in tiny detail (a magnifier is included), from the big bang all the way to 2016 and the recent Brexit vote. On each spread, facts are divided into sections such as "Space," "Sea," and "Sky," and information is presented in brief, easy-to-understand bites. Cool factoids abound: in the Stone Ages, "human populations suffer a near catastrophic decline, possibly to as few as 2,000 individuals." The format of the book makes it a great introduction to ancient and recent history for upper elementary schoolers. Since such huge swaths of time are covered, the text can sometimes be confusing to follow, but that does not detract from the overall appeal. Those who want more details will appreciate the newspaper-style articles at the end that expand on some of the topics in the time line, such as the Terracotta Army and the 1969 moon landing. Readers can test their new knowledge with a 50-question quiz.
