Checkered History
A visual guide to the past, present and the future
Change is a constant but things also stay the same. Checkered History is a fun visual way for seeing just that, and learning about STEM and the history of ideas. Each spread takes something everyday and reveals at glance how it has changed over time—and how it might change in the future. Next time you brush your teeth imagine doing it with the bristles from a pig, and when you next pass a construction site imagine building a new home with a printer that uses concrete instead of ink!

STEM History
How Science Shaped the Past
STEM is at the heart of our lives—but it’s not just a modern phenomenon. This new series shows the influence of science, technology, engineering, and math on some of the key eras of world history. Its novel approach to the past shows young readers the often-overlooked reasons why particular things happenednat particular times, and how STEM shaped the past—and still shapes the present.
Science is important, complicated and powerful—but that does not mean it cannot be fun!
Science 10 x 10 introduces budding Einsteins, Feynmans, and Darwins to the different areas of science through a collection of eye-catching and jaw dropping facts. This is science at its most entertaining, with a solid education foundation.
