In the best tradition of storytelling, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC chronicles one of the most dramatic centuries in history. It's a panoramic account of a world in motion and transformation, from the Wright Brothers' first flight to Neil Armstrong's walk on the moon and much more, conveniently organized by decade. Essays by prominent historians and vivid portraits (600 photographs and illustrations) of memorable men, women and events, along with maps, charts and timelines make this comprehensive volume informative, entertaining and highly readable.

"We were drawn to Sonlight because we love the books and reading together," writes Megan S of Santa Rosa, CA, "but the Book of Time and the way history is put into place by the collective curriculum was a revelation for me.

"I have learned so much right alongside my children! And my babies learn daily with their older sisters. It's an all-around win. We thank God for bringing Sonlight into our lives."

Here, Megan's daughter Alheli (4) hugs her Book of Time as she joyfully realizes that she'll be doing her very own timeline work! Her sisters Ellen (7) and Olin (4) look at their own treasures during their family's fifth Box Day."Alheli has been listening to her older sisters' Sonlight readings since she was a baby," Megan said. "This year, as we opened the box, she said 'Hey, look! A new timeline book!' When I told her it was hers to use, she pulled it out with awe and kissed it. I love that one of her growing-up milestones will be her use of the timeline that she's watched her sisters diligently fill throughout her life. It's a page in her very own story."

"We are about to finish our 11th year using Sonlight," writes Tracy P. of Lakeside, CA. "We initially fell in love with Sonlight for the rich literature and global outlook. We have laughed, cried, and learned so much together. This year, the kids have spent all year looking forward to the dissection portion of Biology! They love learning about God's creation." Pictured, Noah (14, Science 250) works on a dissection and Ezri (13, Science 250) observes.

"We chose Sonlight because Amelia (5) and Edith (3) have always loved reading," writes Amanda F of Stockdale, NC. "Our Sonlight boxes arrived, and Amelia immediately began to flip through her new books. Her curiosity made her eager to start kindergarten! The program has beyond lived up to my expectations. I love that all the hard work has already been done for me; I simply open my Instructor's Guide and go! Amelia's 3-year-old sister Edith loves participating in school with Amelia. Science has been their favorite subject because of the experiments, and Edith feels so grown up doing the same assignments as Amelia."
