The Timeline Atlas

The Timeline Atlas shows graphically the major movements and events that have transformed the world - from the early environment and lifestyle of the first humans to the world of today

Beginning with a concise summary of our knowledge about the universe, the solar system and the physical geography of Earth, this reference book covers both time and space: the timeline and world history trace key events from early human settlement to the conflicts of 2014 in illustrated double-page spreads. 

The atlas has over 160 pages of maps and an index; and the guide to the world's flags includes basic facts about each country's area, population, capital, government, religions and currency.
