Synopsis
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. For adults and older children, these detailed images reward a close study to test your own knowledge of political, cultural and historical events. For young children, each spread provides a slew of talking points, with the world's stories concisely represented.

Review
'Peter Goes's stunning Timeline: A Visual History of Our World, with its ribbons of pitch black winding through subtly-coloured, deeply involving pages, perfectly lives up to Gecko Press's avowed championing of work 'rich in language and illustration'.' --The Guardian
''Timeline, A Visual History of Our World' is utterly breathtaking and bursting with detail.From the beginning of time to the current day, no stone is left unturned in this graphical feast for the eye. Peter Goes has crafted a picture perfect, potted history which will appeal to all ages.' --Picture Books Blogger
'By combining chunks of text with infographics and delightful cartooning, Goes creates a rich, accessible treasure trove of facts and figures. Hugely informative, hugely entertaining.' --The Financial Times
