With stunning illustrations and accessible text throughout, this book covers many important political and social developments, including wars, revolutions, and the people who made them happen. It is clearly divided into established time periods to provide structure and cohesion. The 'date to remember' sections pinpoint crucial moments in history. A general time line of worldwide events gives the book a wider cultural focus, offering the reader an impression of what was happening on a global scale. The book features a clear, concise text, full-colour illustrations and humorous drawings, which will help to engage even the most reluctant of readers. A complete glossary and index make this title ideal for use both at home and at school. It covers Key Stage 2 History and helps achieve the goals of the Scottish Standard Curriculum 5-14.
