Summary

In 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright designed a lightweight airplane and made the first recorded flight in history. More than 100 years later, travelers board planes every day and jet across the globe within a matter of hours. Learn how even ancient people once dreamt of taking to the skies, and discover how this dream ultimately developed into an innovative reality. Have you ever wondered what life was like before telephones or cars? It's easy to take for granted the inventions that have had such huge impacts on our everyday lives. With the help of The Timeline Library, children can visualize the development-and grasp the monumental impacts-of some of the most influential innovations in history. Presented in a timeline format that combines biography, science, history, and social studies, each book offers young readers a unique perspective from which to view the course of human history. Kids will emerge with a well-rounded understanding of how these inventions have played an indelible role in shaping our past, present, and future
