"Each volume contains a 6-foot-long illustrated chart showing, in hand-drawn pictures across a horizontal timeline, the occurrence of major historical events. The Wallbooks, with their unique presentation of history, are one way for students - of any age, really - to follow their own interests into a deeper knowledge of the past." - Omnivoracious - The Amazon Book Review, reviewed by Sarah Harrison Smith

The volumes available in this slipcased edition are The Big History Wallbook, The Science Wallbook, and The Nature Wallbook. The timelines are filled with great pictures and succinct text that describes important events and concepts in history. They are extremely informative, but by necessity, not exhaustive. They're a great jumping off point for further investigation. Possibly their best feature, as an adult looking at them, is the context they provide. In addition to the wallchart, each wallbook has a newspaper style section that gives more information about major events pertaining to the subject matter. They're written in a jokey fashion - they reminded me of the Horrible Histories; engaging children in learning without them noticing that's what's happening. Whatever subject you wish to learn about, these timelines are an extremely accessible way to do so. They're filled with engaging text, great pictures, and a wealth of interesting facts and figures about the history of man and the planet. Perfect for inquisitive children and hanging in any education space, these timelines are well worth investigating!" - GeekDad
