History as it Happened

Author DK
Pore over more than 200 maps of the past to understand the world of the present in this children's history book with a difference.

Watch the rise and fall of great empires and kingdoms, follow explorers of land and sea on their journeys of discovery, and learn how lucrative trade routes of spices and silk have all changed the way our world looks today.

Hundreds of specially commissioned maps guide you through key moments in history, or show how things changed over time. Historical photographs help bring this history to life, while clear, bite-size text allows you to easily follow the story of humankind.

History As It Happened breaks down history into simple, manageable chunks. Explore ancient Rome from its beginnings as a small kingdom, through the growth of its power as a republic, to its greatest glory as a continent-spanning empire. With this piece-by-piece approach to investigating history, and with its truly global and inclusive content, this is a children's history atlas like no other!
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
 
From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
