Have you ever wondered where Attila the Hun and the Goths fit into History? Or when was the Renaissance, and the Restoration, and the Reformation, and were they related? Perhaps, you’ve always wondered about when Dinosaurs became extinct, and how long it was before humans came into existence?

“This is not a heavy historical book. It’s an easy to read, simple, and fascinating timeline of all the major people and events that have made up our world from the Big Bang through to Julius Caesar, Jesus, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the French and Industrial Revolutions, the World Wars and right up to the Queens death and today”, says author Bruce Tapping, who draws on more than five years of research to create this chronological timeline.

The 14 billion years since the creation of the Universe are broken down into 10 chapters. The first three cover everything from the Big Bang to the Egyptian and Roman Empires. The remaining seven chapters start with the birth of Jesus and move through the Middle Ages to the Early Modern Era and then to the Twentieth Century and the present day. Each historical event is covered in easily digested paragraphs where questions you may have always had such as: Was Jesus a real person? When were the Vikings around? Who fought the English Civil War, and why? When was JFK assassinated? Why was Trump impeached? are answered in this brilliantly simple timeline that offers a unique way to understand exactly how historical events fit into each other, and how each event has affected the history of the planet, of society and of human evolution.
