Compiled by the team behind Whitakers Almanack- Chronologica is a fascinating journey through time- from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet. Along the way are tales of kings and queens- hot air balloons- comets... and monkeys in space.Travel through 100 of the most incredible years in world history and learn why being a Roman Emperor wasnt always as good as it sounds- how the Hundred Years War didnt actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record.Chronologica is an informative and entertaining glimpse into history- beautifully illustrated and full of incredible facts. While Chronologica tells the stories of famous people in history such as Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great- this books also recounts the lives of lesser-known individuals including the explorer Mungo Park and sculptor Gutzon Borglum.This historical compendium is certain to entertain readers young and old- and guaranteed to present even the biggest history buff with something new!...
