Paperback. THINK HISTORY IS JUST DATES, KINGS & BATTLES? PLOT TWIST.History is stranger, smarter, and far more surprising than most textbooks make it sound. History Has Plot Twists is a fast-paced world history book for kids ages 8-12, packed with 50 strange-but-true 3-minute stories from ancient civilizations to the modern world. Meet a customer who complained about bad copper nearly 4,000 years ago. Discover how a solar storm helped pinpoint the exact year Vikings were in North America. Meet a fish scientists knew only from fossils-until one turned up on a dock. Find out why Moon-landing software was literally woven by hand, how humans made smallpox disappear, and why scientists deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid. And those are only a few of the twists. This isn't a dry textbook filled with dates to memorize. It isn't a giant pile of random history facts for kids with no explanation, either. Every short story reveals what happened, why it mattered, and how we know it really happened-using archaeology, documents, artifacts, scientific measurements, museum collections, DNA, tree rings, shipwrecks, recordings, and other real evidence. Kids get the surprise. Parents get the substance. And history finally gets interesting.

Find out why Moon-landing software was literally woven by hand, how humans made smallpox disappear, and why scientists deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid.
And those are only a few of the twists.
This isn't a dry textbook filled with dates to memorize. It isn't a giant pile of random history facts for kids with no explanation, either.
Every short story reveals what happened, why it mattered, and how we know it really happened—using archaeology, documents, artifacts, scientific measurements, museum collections, DNA, tree rings, shipwrecks, recordings, and other real evidence.

El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
