Gecko Press Timeline
Book SynopsisFrom 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. 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.Trade ReviewAn inky swath of black bisects this gorgeous oversize volume, its shape transforming to create prehistoric seas, ancient monuments, and more as Goes creates a visual time line of life on Earth, augmented by concise captions and relevant historical detail. Beginning with the Big Bang, Goes covers mass extinctions, the rise and fall of empires, wars, and pop culture trends, conveyed with playful details and masterly use of negative space (the great Wall of China winds its way through an overview of China's Ming Dynasty, while arrows radiate out from Nazi Germany in a WWII spread to demonstrate Hitler's impact). As the time line concludes with events including the Fukushima nuclear disaster and Charlie Hebdo shooting ('peace and prosperity for all remains a distant dream'), readers will be left with a powerful sense of how far we have come and how far we have to go. starred, Publishers Weekly -- "Journal" (1/11/2016 12:00:00 AM)Table of Contents1.

The books are well-written, and the accompanying teacher resources are excellent. Their use has massively improved my student's writing and historical comprehension. It is the best KS3 textbook I have come across.” Rob Law, Head of History at Saint Martins' Catholic Academy “The Knowing History series has been a great help to the department. It has allowed for a much more consistent approach, ensuring a high quality of knowledge across all lessons. The textbooks are simply laid out, in a clutter-free approach which we have found refreshing. The breadth of knowledge is also excellent; for example, we now teach a number of medieval kings, rather than a whole enquiry on William the Conqueror. Although not the primary purpose of the books, we have also found it a great help for non-specialist teachers and for setting cover.” Jon Wayman, Head of History, Classics and Politics at Longsands Academy “KS3 students have enjoyed using Knowing History in lessons as it immerses them in knowledge-rich narratives and provides them with opportunities to read aloud. Students particularly enjoy the fact boxes. Trainees find Knowing History beneficial in supporting their own knowledge development while also providing a standardised approach for all staff across the department.” Tessa McLaughlin, Head of History at Bedford Academy

Each activity features step-by-step guidance, a list of resources, and a detailed explanation of the skills children will learn.

So the closer they are to the experience, the richer their learning can be.In this colourful new book by Alistair Bryce-Clegg there are
