Journey through time from Stone Age to the millennium

This beautifully illustrated reference book traces the entire sweep of human history, from the earliest settlements around 9000BC to the turn of the millennium. Over 3,500 carefully selected dates bring wars and revolutions, groundbreaking inventions, and remarkable discoveries to life through vivid reconstructions, photographs, and detailed maps.

What makes this book special is its geographical approach—readers can compare what was happening simultaneously in different parts of the world, revealing fascinating connections across continents and cultures. The chronological layout helps children understand how civilisations developed alongside each other, making global history feel interconnected rather than fragmented.

Created by Jane Chisholm and the expert team at Usborne, this substantial reference combines scholarly accuracy with engaging presentation. With its comprehensive glossary, extensive index, and listings of rulers throughout history, it's designed to be both an absorbing read and a reliable homework companion.

Suitable for children aged 7 years and up

Why we like it

This is exactly the kind of reference book that grows more valuable over time. What we really liked about Usborne's approach is how they've organised history geographically rather than just chronologically—it helps children understand that history wasn't happening in isolation, but as part of a connected world story. The quality of illustration and the sheer breadth of coverage make this a book families will return to for years.
