Timelines of Science

For just under £15. I think this is a wonderful book and great value for money. It’s a really solid hardback, sturdy book. It has a contents in an index page and the contents page is really informative at allowing you to decide what you want to actually look at. The book itself is beautifully illustrated throughout, which makes it appealing to a whole range of ages, including children. It also breaks down the contents page into different sections, such as ancient world, and during the war (including others as well). Under each section, it, then has the different areas of science that you can look for. It is all aimed at physics. each section is really informative and easy to read as well as easy on the eye because of the illustrations. The pages are also laid out differently each time and it does really make it engaging to the reader. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to read up about a whole variety of physical areas. I definitely say that this is aimed at ages eight upwards but even could include adults as well. I think it’s just generally a wonderful non-fiction book for everyone to explore

My eight year old is addicted to this book and I'm really enjoying it too. It is probably best suited to ages 9+ but my 8YO boy has a thirst for knowledge. I'd say the literacy level is set for Year 5 children and above but if your younger kid is keen like mine then they'll manage to get through. I'd even go so far as to say this is good enough for adults to learn loads too. If you're like me, an adult who messed around at school but now enjoys learning as an adult then this is a great book as it's written in very accessible language and is very interesting content. There are tonnes of brilliant photos, plenty of simple diagrams and loads of wonderfully set out timeliness. The images are We love the broad range of topics, it's a massive spectrum and is wonderful for enquiring young minds. My sons favourite pages are on explosives. This is such a good book that I'd be surprised if anyone was disappointed in it. It's excellent and I'm very glad we have it on our bookshelf.

This is a really attractive book that conveys a lot of information in a fairly novel way, taking various scientific subjects and telling their story, or showing how they have advanced, via illustrated timelines. It’s definitely a way to present in an easy-to-digest way what may otherwise be seen as boring topics by many children. It’s educational and fun. Four stars.

I do love these kind of books, we have this as a family book and all our kids from 3 to 10 like looking at it. There is a different approach to the pages than an encyclopaedia in that there are timelines on pages that snake around and then short paragraphs with a fact at different points along the line. There a lot of different types of facts, some very random that I’ve never heard of and some pivotal moments in history but all of them, well most, condensed down into a little paragraph so it’s not teaching you about each thing it’s more plotting points of interest throughout time. There are some pages devoted to a subject and with a lot more detail like the fire in the pictures. An excellent book for kids to dip in and out of, it’s good for younger ones as well because it’s filled with pictures.

This book takes you through timelines of important scientific discoveries throughout history, ranging from how life on Earth began all the way to the impacts humans have had on our planet It’s a truly fascinating read, packed full of interesting facts that haven’t been dumbed down but are still easy enough to understand The book is hard backed and heavy, a coffee table book size, with glossy pages and really beautiful illustrations throughout Overall, a really interesting read and a perfect way to find out some super cool facts!

This is a big and quite heavy book, but it should be as it seems to give an extremely comprehensive guide to science through history, touching every topic I can think of from Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Amazing facts and pictures. Very well laid out for inspiring learning. Full colour, amazing print quality as expected from DK. 300 Pages Plus. The children are living it, as are adults and house guests! A fact book you’ll come back to again and again. Great for learning about things for homework.

Wow! There is a HUGE amount of info in this book. It is a sort of visual enyclopedia of science. The visuals are a great way for the densely packed info to be made a bit more accessible, but it still isn't for the faint-of-heart. Still, for the right audience it would make a lovely gift, and will keep them entertained for weeks, months or years!

Interesting...crammed with info, almost too jam-packed....good illustrations, fun and relevant facts...

Received in good condition, glossy pages and feels smooth in hand.

It's a book for anyone above 5+. Make sure they handle it properly as it is quite heavy. My kids are sharing time to read it. One of the best purchases I made for them.
