On each spread of this large-format book, a block of text explains the time period depicted (from "the beginning of life" to "the 2010s" with specific civilizations in between); additional text integrated into the intricate, muted-color art provides facts. Between the finely rendered visual details and tiny type, it's easy to miss information, but patient and observant older readers will be rewarded.
