"Unfold the History of the Universe from the Big Bang to the Present Day" - it's a big ask but the wonderful people at What on Earth? books have done it brilliantly. This unique wallbook includes a 2 metre-long fold-out timeline with over 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 (this really helps put events into context and give a wider meaning than more timelines offer) as well as the history of human civilisations in each of the world's continents. It's amazingly clear to read, despite the small print needed to get all the information in. In case you struggle, though, there's a magnifier slotted into a pocket at the front of the book. Good use of background colours helps separate out each continent and it's simple to compare what was happening across the world at any given moment in time. As well as the timeline, the Wallbook Chronicle includes more than 30 newspaper-style articles and a 50-question quiz. Perfect for 6-14 year olds but equally fascinating for all curious adults.It's a book that will intrigue all ages, with so much to learn and appreciate. It can be hard for children to put historical events into context, but this really helps, and it will stimulate them to investigate in more depth. Excellently done."
