Prachtige tekeningen, wat een goed boek! Mooi om zo door de geschiedenis van de wetenschap en techniek te bladeren.
Bij “technologie” denk je vast aan computers en satellieten. Wist je dat deze moderne technologie zijn oorsprong vindt in de oude steentijd? Peter Goes neemt de kijker mee op een reis door de tijd.
‘Tijdlijn Wetenschap & Techniek’ is een prachtig informatief boek met grote kijkplaten die de wetenschap en technologische vondsten tonen. In Wetenschap & Techniek wordt niet alleen de West-Europese technische ontwikkeling gevolgd, maar ook bijv. die uit Midden-Amerika en uit het Midden-Oosten. Twee an ...more

This large format book is an excellent way to browse through the scientific accomplishments of humankind, from Paleolithic times to the present day. Each page opening displays an era, a century, or, in the case of the 20th and 21st centuries, a decade. A paragraph overview is amplified by a visual conceptual representation of the time’s advancements, with important people and inventions mentioned. Goes’s playful graphic art channels the era, and the humanoid people, uniformly lumpen, demonstrate
