Unfold the most amazing moments in scientific and technological discovery with this beautifully illustrated, 3-metre-long timeline! Created in association with the Science Museum, this amazing timeline is uniquely broken out into seven subject areas (such as maths & measurement and building & inventions) as well as by date, with more than 1,000 pictures and captions, allowing you to compare events across the world at any given moment in time. This unique history of science and engineering tells the story of the world's greatest scientists and inventors, from ancient China to the Middle East, and from Enlightenment Europe to modern-day America. This giant timeline is specially designed to be unfolded and stuck up on a wall and makes a spectacular display for any library, bedroom, classroom, or anywhere curious people dwell. What on Earth posterbooks are fully laminated to give them 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.
