This is a trip through time, past dinosaurs, Vikings, Aztecs and spaceships. It looks at wars and disasters; introduces artists, explorers and leaders; shows us living in castles, yurts and skyscrapers. And it does not neglect the imaginationhere too are dragons, mythical figures and TV characters, alongside world-changing inventions born from the imaginations of scientists and explorers. Each scene puts global events in perspective, in space and time.
