The Butterfly Effect

Very familiar with the idea of the butterfly effect, where the wind of a butterfly on one side of the world could change the course on the other, I was extremely excited to see what Andy Andrews had to say with this title. I was amazed at what I found. Andrews did his research and wove the stories of the lives of men and women throughout history who created one path of change and therefore led others in history to continue with forward movement. He carefully unfolds the story through use of different font, short phrases (cliffhangers) on each page, and use of illustrations brings to life the emotions each historical character may of felt at the awe of hard work paid off. It was a joy to read, and a wonderful coffee table book. Definitely a conversation starter!
