STEM Chronology by Bryan Bunch (with contributions from Alexander Hellemans) consists of about 10,000 chronological reports from 3,400,000 BCE through 2017 detailing the main contributions to SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and MATHEMATICS for each year. Interspersed among the entries are 182 short essays on topics of special interest and short biographies of 200 scientists (lists attached). Although the text is based on The History of Science and Technology (published by Houghton Mifflin in 2004), STEM Chronology is considerably revised, using a different format while adding many new entries and details to existing entries, extending the manuscript in both directions chronologically so that it now covers from 3,400,000 BCE to 2017. There is also a completely new, extensive index. STEM Chronology is simpler than The History of Science and Technology in that the long introductions to different periods in history and all the artwork/photography are omitted. The format is simple. Each year that is covered includes notable events in the four categories grouped by category.Unlike other histories of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, STEM Chronology attempts to explain every important event in those subjects rather than focusing on a broad approach to major developments. In the age of Google, a researcher can often locate information about a topic, but he or she needs to know what to ask for, which is not always easy to find. The entries in STEM Chronology get to the heart of the matter without mixing information from other events. Internal cross-references make it easy to trace the development of important topics from year to year.
