The timeline includes over 1,000 illustrations and captions and is uniquely divided into 7 sections (Sky and Space, Transportation and Communication, Building and Invention, Earth and Land, Medicine and Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and Math and Measurement) with a timeline running along the bottom. From the Stone Ages to the present day, the nearly 6-foot-long timeline allows readers to compare events across the world at any given moment in time – making this a wonderful cross-curricular, all-encompassing science 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 scientific history in greater detail, such as the first use of written numbers and the invention of the telephone. Other features include a page of letters to the editor, a 50-question quiz, and a pocket magnifier to make it easy and fun to explore all the timeline’s details. 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 science 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.
