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!

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. Review "I liked the alternative book format, combining a 'newspaper/chronicle format' outlining scientific discoveries with a large six foot Timeline to post on the wall for children....Motivated readers can evaluate their knowledge with a Quiz at the end." - Youth Services Book Review "This compendium of scientific facts was written in association with the American Museum of Natural History and includes a newspaper-style "Chronicle" of key moments in the history of science and a 50-question quiz. Visual learners, science and history buffs and philomaths, rejoice!" - ShelfAwareness “All too often, history is taught in silos. A series of facts and bits information internal to say, The French Revolution, but rarely are we taught what was going on elsewhere at the same time. This is particularly true for the history of science. It’s great to have context of what was going on across the whole scientific world, at any given time.” - GeekDad About the Author Christopher Lloyd graduated with a double-first class degree in history from Cambridge University.
