Explore the world from the beginning of time until the present, in
this amazing, over-sized timeline book that brings history to life!
The timeline is uniquely broken out into 12 sections, including by
subject areas (such as sea, land) and continents, as well as by
date, with over 1,000 pictures and captions. From the rise of the
dinosaur to the creation of the smart phone, the nearly 2-metre
timeline allows you to compare events across the world at any given
moment in time. An easy-to-read chronicle, written in the form of
newspaper articles, highlights key moments from history, such as
the rise and fall of Rome and the invention of the steam engine.
Other features include a page of letters to the editor, a
fifty-question quiz, and a pocket magnifier to make it easier to
explore all the timeline's details. Perfect for 6-14 year olds, and
history buffs of any age!

commander Brian de Berclay has his evil eye on her. Perhaps she

3000 strong, Ada, her friend Godfrey and all at Caerlaverock
suddenly find themselves under attack, with only 60 men for
protection. Soon, rocks and flaming arrows rain from the sky over
Castle Caerlaverock - and Ada has a dangerous choice to make.
