Very interesting read, but I don't like how it left out a lot of how Indigenous people and cultures were affected by invasion and colonisation.

[Dave Schaafsma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a large format book with big ambition, to tell the history of the world in arresting images and short bursts of verbal language. It's not really for kids, I think, though my kids had some interest in paging through it. It's kind of an alternate history of the world, stopping along the way through dinosaurs, Vikings, Aztecs and spaceships. Wars make it into the picture, but artists, too. It looks at wars and disasters; introduces artists and the imagination. It ends with Charlie Hebdo (Je Suis Charlie), since he is an artist.

The point is that it is his, Goes', history of the world, wherein he gets to create this great landscape of space and time and color and historical occurrence and ordinary life and creativity. A tribute to the world. Maybe it is more for younger readers, because as Howard Zinn might observe over my shoulder, it is a pretty positive view of history, on the whole.

When I was reading it I was kind of reminded of Barry Lopez's observations about Inuit ideas about map-making and what matters to them vs. western (southern!) ideas of cartography, what "should" be in a map. Or Sara Fanelli's My Map Book; Sara was five when she made her maps, and she includes things like a map of her tummy and a map of my heart and a map of my room. Idiosnycratic. As if any map were "objective."

That said, I hate to say I didn't just consume it, or even particularly love it. I admire it, the ambition of it, and the achievement of it, and it is pretty cool, but I wasn't as engaged with it as I wanted to be. I like it a lot, still, and show it to a lot of people. It is visually striking. And has whimsy about it. Why mention soup cans, for instance, as a moment in history?

Here: This made me like it even more, as an object of art; it shows you the process Goes went through, with some really useful insights into how it came about:

Πρωτότυπη εικονογράφηση που δεν χορταίνεις να κοιτάς! Πραγματικά αυτό το βιβλίο μπορεί να αποτελέσει το κόσμημα της βιβλιοθήκης του παιδιού σας -ή και της δικής σας! Η επιλογή δε των ιστορικών σταθμών στους οποιους γινεται αναφορά ειναι ιδανική. Το μόνο "ψεγάδι" που βρίσκω είναι οτι ισως θα ήθελα λιγο περισσότερο συνοδευτικό κείμενο.

Σπεύσατε να το κάνετε δωρο στους αγαπημένους σας! Θα εντυπωσιαστουν!

O carte deosebit realizată! Ilustrațiile lui Peter Goes putând fi considerate adevărate hărți, oferind un punct de plecare în cunoașterea istoriei lumii. Cel puțin a momentelor sale importante. Deși este o carte dedicată cu precădere juniorilor având în vedere încadrarea oferită de editură, cred că este o lectură interesantă și pentru adulți.

„Таймлайнс стор” (Timelines.store) е новото издателство, което ни зарадва с комично-философската детска поредица „Заек и Мечка” от Джулиън Гоф и Джим Фийлд. Ако някой се е чудил откъде се е взело името на издателството, то третата книга с неговото лого идеално пасва на названието! Пригответе се за „Хроники” - пътуване през историята от нов тип. Голяма, тежка, масивна и високоинформативна книга - тези определения обикновено са достатъчна, за да накарат децата да пуфтят и да въртят очи с досада. Или направо да избягат. Е, не и в този случай! „Хроники” е пленително пътешествие от Големия взрив, та чак до наши дни, поднесено с много артистичност, стил и хумор от художника Петер Хус.

Good not great. The illustration is really superb, kind of a bit Guy Delisle with a smidge of Tom Gauld. But given the way the information is formatted and with children as the intended audience, there are bound to be weird omissions. If this is an area of interest to a kid (or a grown up), I would recommend some of the large-format books published by Big Picture Press, especially Maps and Welcome to the Museum: Historium.

Also, full disclosure, I saw someone was on the hold list ahead of me but it said check shelves and sniped it out from under them! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Starting with the Big Bang and the beginnings of our universe and ending with the turbulent 2010s with depictions of turbulence, disasters, assassinations, and street protests in support of freedom of speech, this oversize volume from New Zealand presents history in small bites of text and illustrations. Although each stop includes information about the political climate and government of the period, the author also spends time paying tribute to popular culture, including books, films, games, toys, music, sex symbols, and the increasing prevalence of technology. While the book is fun to read at one time or to dip in for browsing, it would be an excellent book for sharing with others to gain their perspective on the events that seem to have defined our times and theirs as well as history from long, long ago. Thinking about this from another way: What are the moments that have defined your life? Would they be the same ones that are depicted here? I've often thought it interesting how certain songs conjure up a particular decade in a way that nothing else can do. For instance, the Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever album and the ubiquitous Fleetwood Mac attacks I suffered during that time will forever define the late 1970s for me. What song or film would define 2015? What is it that matters most to each of us? Teachers might enjoy having their own students fashion a similar book or artistic response to each year as it concludes, but it might be best to step back out of the way because there is likely to be little consensus.

I was immediately appealed by the gorgeous design of the book. There's just so much hidden in a single page, I think the author/illustrator even tells more with his beautiful illustrations than with his texts. It's amazing how such minimalistic drawings can express so much. just beautiful.

However to the content of the book, I dislike the choice of themes sometimes. The closer it gets to present, the more detailed it gets. It is very Europe-focused, even Belgium-focused which is a pity for a book that is translated to so many other parts of the world. It may be because the core target group is children, but many vents are displayed a bit too rosy (especially the colonial history and how colonists treated indigenous people).

Anyway, a beautiful book to browse in and digest the illustration work!

[S · Rating 1 out of 5]

Even when the design of the book is beautiful, the Eurocentric and colonialist view point completely ruins it.

"Homer var en blind græsk digter, han skrev Illiaden og Odyssen"
I bogen "Tidslinjen" præsentere Peter Goes os for en masse fakta om historien. "Tidslinjen" er en visuel rejse gennem verdenshistorie, fra Big Bang til i dag, i en lang billedfortælling.

Det mest jeg kunne lide ed bogen var det fremragende illustreret billeder og det masse fakta som du stopper ved masse gang.
Stilen var AMAZING og man bliver nysgerrig i hvert kapitel.

I want to buy it to every child, young adult and adult and read and show it over and over!

Otherwise known as: Mostly white folk throughout the years.

Don't get me wrong, this has great information and is visually appealing, but where the fuck is information about Native Americans other than "Oh yeah, they were driven out of their land, by the way." ?????

Also, I would definitely recommend this to a middle schooler. It's classified as juvenile in the library system, but there is no fucking way I would recommend this to anyone in elementary school. There's too much going on it and some of the vocabulary is too advanced.

S touto knihou som sa prvýkrát stretla, keď som ju našla v robote minulé leto a tlačila sa v niekoľkých jazykoch. Potom som videla na Instagrame, že vychádza v češtine (a tlačila sa tiež u nás :)). Podarilo sa mi ju vyhrať práve na Insta a dnes som sa kvôli nej zdrbala z bicykla, nabúrala a podobne. Ale stálo to za to, lebo je fakt nádherná!!!!

Aj som sa bál tých malých písmenok, ale ako sa hovorí, netreba sa báť. Optik ma potešil novou sadou skiel, a to je potom radosť čítať. Aj malé písmená. A krásne obrázky aj jemnú bulvarizáciu dát. Najmä z dvadsiateho storočia. A o tých obrázkoch by som písal dlhšie, ale na čo. Treba čítať? Defi! #trebacitat

Jestem JA - nie plamię, nie chlapię, ślinię się czasem ale nie przy lekturze, nie zaginam rogów, nie bazgrzę. Jestem idealnym czytelnikiem “Rzeki czasu” Petera Goesa (Peter Goes Illustrator), bo uszkadzanie tej pięknej książki to jednak takie tycie przestępstwo.

To, że książka została przez Wydawnictwo Dwie Siostry wydana pięknie, nie dziwi, do tego jesteśmy przyzwyczajeni. Jednak ilustracyjnie poprzeczka została podniesiona bardzo wysoko. Ilustracje Goesa to uczta dla oczu - bogate obrazy zaludnione są przez setki ludzi, zwierząt, zabudowane kościołami, domami… Fantazyjne wizje miast, krain, lądów, na których dzieje się historia urzekają i wciągają na długo. Czytelni(cz)kom komiksu mogą przypominać odrobinę to, co robi David B.

“Rzeka czasu” to opowieść o historii - od dinozaurów po czasy nam zbyt dobrze czasem znajome. Każda epoka została zilustrowana gigantycznym rysunkiem przypominającym połączenie infografiki z obrazami późnego średniowiecza, gdzie w umownej przestrzeni dzieją się mikroopowieści. W rysunki wpleciono teksty uzupełniające lapidarny opis epoki. Do tych tekstów to bym się jednak trochę przyczepił, zwłaszcza dodanie "polskiego kontekstu" nie do końca mnie przekonuje.

Bogactwo rysunku, istny “horror vacui”, kolorystyczna orgia (choć niezwykle przemyślana i konsekwentna) czynią z “Rzeki czasu” wielkie osiągnięcie sztuki ilustracji. Niestety teksty skierowane raczej do młodego odbiorcy mogą wprowadzić nabywców w błąd. To nie jest książka dla dzieciaków, żeby zrozumieć ilustracje trzeba czasem dużo więcej wiedzy niż przekazuje nam narrator a poziom skomplikowania rysunku raczej jest dostosowany do umiejętności i percepcji czytelnika dojrzalszego. Oczywiście, że dziecko wraz z dorosłym z pewnością będzie się dobrze przy “Rzece czasu” bawiło, ale jednak tym razem warszawska oficyna zaprezentowała książkę raczej dla mnie niż dla znajomych dzieci, którym chciałem ją jako dobry Mikołaj sprezentować.

A teraz obowiązkowa w tym tygodniu fraza - idealny prezent dla miłośników ilustracji oraz rodziców, którzy chcą przyzwyczajać dzieci to tego, że ilustracja ma bardzo wiele funkcji. W "Rzece czasu" utonąłem i proszę mnie nie wyławiać.

Timeline: A Visual History of Our World is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Peter Goes, which tells an abridged story about world history from the first signs of life three and a half billion years ago to the first decade of the twenty-first century with rather arty, creative, and imaginative illustrations.

The text is rather simple and straightforward. There is a paragraph for the two-page illustrations describing the particular time period in question, whether it a decade, century, event, or time period, the paragraph succinctly describes the time period in question. However there are some texts that are unconventional and meanders around the illustration which could be difficult to follow, although they are mainly facts. The illustrations are rather beautiful and flows rather well, like a breeze or more likely an explosion from the Big Bang opposite the title page.

The premise of the book is rather straightforward – it's a timeline of the world from the first signs of life three and half billion years ago to the first decade of the twenty-first century. It's a rather ambitious project to handle, while it's quite difficult to write a comprehensive and unabridged history of the world with eight hundred pages, no less eighty. For what is worth, Goes did a fairly good job at it.

All in all, Timeline: A Visual History of Our World is a wonderful children's book chronicling the history of the Earth from the first signs of life to the chaotic world we live in presently. I do, however, wish that Goes had ended the book with more than a modicum of hope.

Repasa la historia universal (desde occidente) mediante grandes láminas a doble página con ilustraciones alusivas al tema y frases con datos entrelazadas con el dibujo.
Me decepcionó un poco, no por su contenido, sino porque a priori anuncia una obra monumental y resulta ser un (bello) compendio ilustrado de historia. Si confiamos en que puede acercar el tema a un público "no lector" o más disperso, entonces consiguió su objetivo. Rescatable más por las ilustraciones que otra cosa.
Si bien el formato es atractivo, su lectura es un tanto compleja, ya que la diagramación pretende integrar el texto en el dibujo, pero resulta cansador la forma de disponerlos.

Een ontzettend mooie combinatie van inspirerende tekeningen en bondige weergaves van verschillende perioden in de geschiedenis (vooral westerse geschiedenis). Vanaf de oerknal tot aan 2010, elke periode is genoeg te zien en te ontdekken. Logischerwijs gezien de grote periode die wordt beschreven is de geschreven informatie beknopt, en zullen er keuzes zijn gemaakt die niet iedereen logisch of geschikt zal vinden. Ook is de informatie veelal vanuit westers perspectief bekeken.
Desalniettemin is er op elke pagina veel te zien en te ontdekken, en kan het denk ik ook een hele mooie opstap zijn naar het willen verdiepen in bepaalde onderwerpen. Voor elk wat wils dus!
