A big visual introduction to the world’s greatest inventions, discoveries and technologies for children, young and old.

Travel through time with this remarkably illustrated 80-page journey of our planet and society’s most fascinating technologies, from the first tools to the creation of YouTube and beyond.

The extraordinary illustrator Peter Goes, in his signature playful style, takes us effortlessly across the timeline of the world’s scientific and technological histories, past medical breakthroughs, remarkable scientists and innovators, from the Stone Age to the present day.

With a mixture of facts, figures, infographics and fun illustrations, each colourful detailed double-page scene covers a period in history, showing key inventions and discoveries in all parts of the world. The perfect combination of STEAM elements for school aged readers.

Every page includes talking points for young children and a chance for older children and adults to put their own tech knowledge to the test.

An accessible and fascinating timeline of science and technology, for every age.
