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.
