Great Non-Fiction

The Big Picture Book of Human Civilisation John Long (Allen&Unwin)
This final book in the Big Picture Book series is a stunner. It looks at the changes in Human civilisation from 1900 human lifetimes ago to now investigating a number of time periods, mapping out in words and pictures the changes that have occurred, the scientific and historical events, the great human advances and calamities, the buildings and beliefs, explorers, investigators, artists, inventors, the first sculptures and paintings. The book concludes with the possibility of what civilisation will be like 300 years from now.
A thoroughly fun book to read that young non fiction investigators will love.
