Explore the incredible 13.7 billion-year history of the world with this beautifully illustrated, laminated timeline that's an incredible 3.3 metres long! This amazing reference includes hundreds and hundreds of illustrations and captions, and is broken out into subject areas, continents and dates, so you can compare events across the world at any given time. Did you ever wonder what on earth was going on at the time of Henry VIII? Discover what else was happening at the time: Martin Luther is protesting against the Pope, Columbus has navigated his way to the Americas, Copernicus is expounding his radical theory about the universe, and the Incas are inhabiting their summer palace Machu Picchu. This giant wallchart is specially designed to be unfolded and makes a spectacular display for any library, bedroom, classroom, or anywhere curious people dwell. What on Earth posterbooks are fully laminated for extra durability and are easy to mount on a wall.
Bestselling author Christopher Lloyd began his career as a journalist with the Sunday Times newspaper. Then, while camping with his family, he had a critical realisation: even with a 1st class degree in history from Cambridge University and experience as a science writer, there was so much about the world he didn’t know. So, he set out to write books that zoom out and tell the big stories, opening readers’ eyes to how seemingly unrelated events fit together and showing them multiple perspectives on the world, all in highly engaging prose and matched with lively illustration and photography. Now, with several books in print, including the bestselling What on Earth Happened? and Absolutely Everything!, Chris divides his time between writing books and delivering lectures and workshops to schools, literary festivals, and a wide range of other venues around the world. He lives in Tonbridge, Kent, with his wife and two adorable terriers.
