Our changing world--the timeline library

Summary

Ancient papyrus scrolls, lost languages carved into cuneiform-the written word stretches back thousands of years. Inventions such as the printing press, typewriters, and computers are evidence of how far this technology has progressed. Trace its history from primitive to modern times, and learn how our world has been shaped as a result of the desire to communicate via writing. Have you ever wondered what life was like before telephones or cars? It's easy to take for granted the inventions that have had such huge impacts on our everyday lives. With the help of The Timeline Library, children can visualize the development-and grasp the monumental impacts-of some of the most influential innovations in history. Presented in a timeline format that combines biography, science, history, and social studies, each book offers young readers a unique perspective from which to view the course of human history. Kids will emerge with a well-rounded understanding of how these inventions have played an indelible role in shaping our past, present, and future
