About the Book

Just 50,000 years ago, our hunter-gatherer ancestors ventured off the African savannah and into the wider world. Now, our technology reaches far out into the cosmos. How did we get to where we are today? With lively text and colorful illustrations, From Then to Now explains how individual societies struggled to find their own paths, despite war, disease, slavery, natural disasters, and the relentless growth of human knowledge. From Hammurabi to Henry Ford, from Incan couriers to the Internet, from the Taj Mahal to the Eiffel Tower, from Marco Polo to Martin Luther King, from Cleopatra to Catherine the Great, from boiled haggis to fried tarantulas - this is no less than the story of humanity. It's the story of how we grew apart over all those years of migration and division, and how - as we recognize our common heritage and our often mixed ancestry - we can come together. An index, maps, and notes make this a must-have reference, as well as a delight to read and to discuss. From Then to Now is bound to create a generation of history buffs!

Review :
 “From Then to Now: A Short History of the World, by Christopher Moore, is a fascinating examination of the evolution of human civilization that is global in its span and inclusive in its outlook. The energetic narrative tells a story that rivals the very best fiction.”  —Governor General Awards Jury’s Comment “…From Then to Now… offers young readers ages 10 and up a fascinating look at how individual societies have struggled to make their way despite the ravages of war, disease, slavery, natural disasters and our ever-expanding wealth of knowledge. It was an ambitious undertaking to condense that much history into a form young readers 10 and up can relate to, but Toronto author Christopher Moore and illustrator Andrej Krystoforski of Poland have done an excellent job.” –Waterloo Region Record PRAISE FOR CHAMPLAIN: “…[a] lushly pictorial biography, extended with archival artwork, maps, and artifacts ….” – School Library Journal “[N]ot only introduces readers to the explorer’s life story and the challenges he faced in North America, it also provides excellent background information ….” – Booklist PRAISE FOR THE BIG BOOK OF CANADA: “… [an] excellent addition to school or home bookshelf.” – The Globe and Mail
