Summary

An exciting book on the revolution of ideas that have sparked change in the way we connect—from the steam train to the information superhighway

With the first railroad, the world’s axis shifted along with it. Since then, revolutionary ideas have changed the way we live, work, play and connect with one another. 

  • How were ‘instant’ messages sent in ancient times?
  • What did the Silk Road bring to the rest of the world?
  • Which search engine used to be called BackRub?
  • Why does the creator of the World Wide Web regret his invention?

Hwee Goh and David Liew collaborate on a fun, fact-full book on how connections have sparked change globally. Are you ready for this next journey of discovery?

The Change Makers series of books will build in children a strong sense of inquiry—to arm them with knowledge in S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) to tackle this brave new world of unknowns.
