New Releases by Steve Noon

Have you ever wondered what your street was like thousands of years ago? This illustrated history ebook for children takes you on a 12,000-year journey to find out the story of a single street. Think of the street you live on. Now think of how it may have looked in the Stone Age in 10,000 BCE, or in Victorian times during the Industrial Revolution, or how it may look 50 years from now. A Street Through Time takes you on a time-travelling journey that you won''t forget. Highly detailed illustrations bring 15 key periods in time to life. You will see magnificent buildings go up and come down, new churches built on the site of ancient temples, wooden bridges destroyed and then remade in stone, and statues demolished then unearthed many years later. You''ll find out how people lived long ago - the tools they used, what they wore and what they did all day. Revised and updated for a new generation, A Street Through Time now includes a look at the street 50 years in the future.

Follow the story of a city from an ancient colony to a vast modern metropolis through stunning full-colour illustrations. A City Through Time will transport you back to another age, as the award-winning Steve Noon brings the past to life in style. Panoramic scenes presented in a unique cutaway style are packed with colourful pictures showing everyday life in the city across the centuries. Clear descriptions surround each beautiful and jam-packed illustration to make sure the details aren''t lost as you meet the characters who live and work there. Plus, each scene has a page devoted to key features, so you can get up close to a Roman bath-house, a medieval castle, or a modern skyscraper. A photographic section profiles great cities throughout history and a glossary tells you what you need to know about architecture, technology, work, and costumes throughout the ages. Steve Noon''s A City Through Time is perfect for parents and children to look at together or for school projects. The more you look, the more you''ll see.

Certaines villes sont nouvelles, fraîchement sorties de terre, mais d''autres sont très anciennes. Allons à la découverte d''une très vieille ville et suivons ses transformations au fil du temps. Au tout début, ce n''était que le camp d''une tribu nomade vivant de chasse et de cueillette, puis un village s''est formé, un bourg s''est construit et une grande ville s''est développée. Mais cela ne s''est pas fait en un jour ! A certaines époques, les hommes qui vivaient là ont connu la paix et la prospérité mais, à d''autres, ils ont dû affronter la guerre, la maladie et la misère. Certains édifices ont subsisté jusqu''à aujourd''hui, d''autres ont été plusieurs fois reconstruits ou ont disparu. Nous verrons aussi les innombrables changements survenus dans la vie quotidienne des habitants de cette ville pas toujours pour leur bien-être d''ailleurs !

In an exploration of history and architecture, readers are taken on a tour through seven buildings set in different time periods, with multiple foldout flaps that enable readers to open doors, look in hallways, peek into bedrooms and closets, and much more.
