Description: Follow four centuries of discovery and change from the moment the world was first explored to turbulent times when it turned upside down even for people not going anywhere! See how South American gold fueled Spain's Golden Age, Ivan the Terrible made Russia BIG, a French king lost his head (and so did an English one), the United States won independence and lots more. Fun, illustrated maps give an instant, bird's-eye view of what was happening when and where thought time  not forgetting landmark inventions such as the telegraph, photography and the car. Stand by for action.
