100 Inventions That Made History

Tracey Turner

DK CHILDRENS

You've probably heard of a few writers: William Shakespeare and his popular plays; Jane Austen and her love stories; and, Charles Dickens and his big blockbusters. But have you heard that: William Shakespeare got mixed up in a plot against the Queen? Jane Austen nearly became a Bigg-Wither? Charles Dickens had his clothes ripped off by his fans? Yes, even when they're dead writers are still full of surprises - and the eight in this book are more surprising than most. Now you can get the inside story from their secret diaries, flick through "Good Day!" magazine for some nineteenth-century gossip, and find out all about the writers whose tall tales have changed the world.

Filled with fascinating details about everything from the most common everyday object to inventions which changed society, this title also distinguishes the strokes of genius from discoveries of sheer chance, or millennia of evolution - and reveals the real reason why Alfred Nobel had to establish a peace prize.

The Comic Strip History of the World

Teen & Young Adult

Mankind has always been fascinated by space - prehistoric man built temples to honour the moon and sun, early civilisations developed theories about what went on up there, and scientists and philosophers from Pythagoras to Copernicus have been drawn to it ever since. Our obsession has led us in to space itself. Not to mention the numerous amazing books, films and UFO 'experiences'. Everything there is to know about space is here. With pictures. It's very very funny. And, of course, supremely edifying: written by Tracey Turner (101 Things) and illustrated by celebrated cartoonist Sally Kindberg.
