Summary

From the Big Bang to the present day, illustrated scenes tell the history of our planet in one continuous story。
A perfect introduction to history for young and old, this illustrated journey through our world’s culture and events travels from the Big Bang to the iPod and into the future。

This is a trip through time, past dinosaurs, Vikings, Aztecs and spaceships。 It looks at wars and disasters; introduces artists, explorers and leaders; shows us living in castles, yurts and skyscrapers。 And it does not neglect the imagination—here too are dragons, mythical figures and TV characters, alongside world-changing inventions borne from the imaginations of scientists and explorers。 Each scene puts global events in perspective, in space and time。

Another true gem that has been on my list for far too long。 Delightful illustrations and succinct accounts of some of the major (and not so major) events throughout world history。

Thu Nguyen

Wonderful visual approach for kids to learn about the concept of timeline。As for the history aspect, the events depicted in the book are somewhat random and overly focused on wars and conflicts。 I found many facts and figures insignificant to human history。

Anastazie Lytvyněnko

Nádherné ilustrace s výtažkem nejdůležitějších milníků naší historie。 Za mě je to skvost každé knihovny a rozhodně doporučuju。

MJ

Such imaginative drawings! Ryan would love it

Kızımın kitabı ama ben de zevkle okudum。 Büyük Patlamadan günümüze dünyanın, kültürlerin tarihi resimlerle anlatılmış。 Hem tarihe baştan sona hızlı bir bakış imkanı sağlaması hem de resimlerin kalitesi açısından tatmin edici buldum。 Meraklı küçüklere farklı tarih okumalarının kapısını açabilir, tavsiye ederim。

Let quirkily drawn figures take you on a journey through history (through a Western lens)。 This is a good starting point for kids or for adults wishing a quick refresher。 While Timeline offers a good way to get an overview, its approach entails that a lot of information has been left out for the sake of brevity。 I would have loved the inclusion of more recent history of so-called "third-world countries" and the stories of the oppressed。 Let quirkily drawn figures take you on a journey through history (through a Western lens)。 This is a good starting point for kids or for adults wishing a quick refresher。 While Timeline offers a good way to get an overview, its approach entails that a lot of information has been left out for the sake of brevity。 I would have loved the inclusion of more recent history of so-called "third-world countries" and the stories of the oppressed。 。。。more

Een ontzettend mooie combinatie van inspirerende tekeningen en bondige weergaves van verschillende perioden in de geschiedenis (vooral westerse geschiedenis)。 Vanaf de oerknal tot aan 2010, elke periode is genoeg te zien en te ontdekken。 Logischerwijs gezien de grote periode die wordt beschreven is de geschreven informatie beknopt, en zullen er keuzes zijn gemaakt die niet iedereen logisch of geschikt zal vinden。 Ook is de informatie veelal vanuit westers perspectief bekeken。Desalniettemin is er Een ontzettend mooie combinatie van inspirerende tekeningen en bondige weergaves van verschillende perioden in de geschiedenis (vooral westerse geschiedenis)。 Vanaf de oerknal tot aan 2010, elke periode is genoeg te zien en te ontdekken。 Logischerwijs gezien de grote periode die wordt beschreven is de geschreven informatie beknopt, en zullen er keuzes zijn gemaakt die niet iedereen logisch of geschikt zal vinden。 Ook is de informatie veelal vanuit westers perspectief bekeken。Desalniettemin is er op elke pagina veel te zien en te ontdekken, en kan het denk ik ook een hele mooie opstap zijn naar het willen verdiepen in bepaalde onderwerpen。 Voor elk wat wils dus! 。。。more

Holy smokes。 This book is a gorgeous, overwhelming, and sometimes baffling collection of facts。 I have a mental image of the author blending up a bunch of history books, tossing a handful of bitesize chunks across a blank page, and then drawing illustrations to match them。 It felt like reading an elegant version of "Where's Waldo?", except the pages were even bigger and I didn't have a list of items to look for that could anchor my exploration of the page。Since the text was sprinkled across the Holy smokes。 This book is a gorgeous, overwhelming, and sometimes baffling collection of facts。 I have a mental image of the author blending up a bunch of history books, tossing a handful of bitesize chunks across a blank page, and then drawing illustrations to match them。 It felt like reading an elegant version of "Where's Waldo?", except the pages were even bigger and I didn't have a list of items to look for that could anchor my exploration of the page。Since the text was sprinkled across the page in various orientations, my eyes (and therefore, my brain) had a hard time processing the information。 Each spread covered a specific historical period, but the individual facts felt randomly placed。 For the 1980s, the HIV epidemic, the release of Pac-Man, and the Iraq-Iran war are clustered at the top left corner of the spread。 I'd love to know how the author decided what items to include and how to organize them on the page, because those events are so variable in their specificity and impact。The illustrations are beautiful and I enjoyed his sense of humor, but in the end I felt like this book was more style than substance。 That said, if I had a precocious kid, I might have them take a look at it to see if it sparked their curiosity in any of the countless ideas, people, or events mentioned。 。。。more

Very beautiful illustrations, very interesting facts listed。 I was just a bit sorry that the "history" showcased in this book is yet again Europe-centered, with the occasional Ming Dynasty/Russian Revolution/Incas-Aztecs insights。 I would have personally liked to see a bit more from the rest of the world, but for what it is it's a very beautiful book :) Very beautiful illustrations, very interesting facts listed。 I was just a bit sorry that the "history" showcased in this book is yet again Europe-centered, with the occasional Ming Dynasty/Russian Revolution/Incas-Aztecs insights。 I would have personally liked to see a bit more from the rest of the world, but for what it is it's a very beautiful book :) 。。。more

Even when the design of the book is beautiful, the Eurocentric and colonialist view point completely ruins it。
