Atlas of Human Imagination

Noeleen O'Hara, Mother of 2, and Business Development Manager in Leiden, The Netherlands: "The Atlas of Human Imagination weaves over a thousand years of thought-leaders and breakthroughs into a single elegant visual narrative. Its rich imagery and design inspire joy and awe at human accomplishments and invites viewers to engage, explore and reflect.

This will make a dazzling addition to any classroom, library or creative space.

My son and daughter have the posters hanging up in their rooms and are getting inspired by them already!"

Sarah Flores, 2nd-Year Psychology Student in Groningen, The Netherlands: "The Atlas of Human Imagination is a powerful reminder of the valuable ideas and achievements that we are all a part of. We come from a line of thinkers, creators and discoverers whose imagination has shaped the world today.

This poster amazingly represents humanity’s brilliance across many different fields of knowledge. Each image is a representation of these visionaries and their impact in history.

Recognising their contributions allows young people like me to understand their roots and to continue on the path of innovation. By honouring thinkers, creators and discoverers that came before us, we not only keep their memory alive, but also use their legacy to guide the minds of the future."

Steve Albon, former Head of Science and Assistant Principal in various British secondary schools, and now County Councillor, in Warwickshire, UK: "This is a fantastic resource. It shows the link between knowledge and understanding and importantly, the thinking that took place in order to gain this knowledge. This crucial element is often overlooked in education today and is fundamental to the full and secure acquisition of concepts.

Professor Jarvis emphasises the power of creative thought and the lack of boundaries between different fields of sciences and art which working together, have enabled Society to progress. Above all, this is a resource which motivates learners and encourages independence, while exploring global connections. It is an interesting, informative, and attractive format which could have a central place in any learning environment."

Rita Numsen-Williams, Secondary School Teacher of Humanities and Headteacher (retired) in Essen, Germany: "I am writing this contribution as an educator of many decades. Unfortunately, scientific research, which I can certainly support by observations of decades of working in education have revealed, that there is little doubt, that social media in their various forms infiltrate the minds of children and youngsters in a non-productive way, distracting from the acquisition of knowledge and independent thinking.

Against this background, I would like to congratulate David Jarvis on his so very promising contribution to the field of education! The 'Atlas of Human Imagination' is fun, educational and visionary. May it encourage, inspire and motivate the new generation towards experimental, independent thinking in the most positive way!

The world needs it!"

Matthew Geyl, Geography and PSHE Teacher in the UK: "The Atlas of Human Imagination is a visually stunning resource that engages young people with the panoply of intellectual achievements that make our world - and our minds - the way they are today.

From Fibonacci to Freud and Descartes to Darwin, it puts the greatest ideas ever conceived into one place, and is the perfect starting point for discussion, debate and further study. Tantalising images and supporting information will, without a doubt, launch learning journeys that last a lifetime.

I recommend the poster for any place of learning."

Mariano Anthony Davies PhD, Founding Chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce in Copenhagen, Denmark: "Using his education and experience as a leading scientist in his field, Professor Jarvis has produced an interactive 'Atlas of Human Imagination' that will give us all a historical overview of the many important inventions and thought developments that have benefited mankind from 2600 BC to the world in which we live today. These great thinkers have shaped thought and brought about developments that have triggered new thinking and improved the world as we know it.

We live in a world of instant and LIVE social media, in which it is difficult for young people to differentiate between fact and fiction. This website will help us all (benefactors of these phenomenal developments) and future generations to understand and appreciate these historical giant steps.

Professor Jarvis has an education and career-based experience in science, invention, innovation and education as a leader in his field of expertise and has used this knowledge and experience to produce 'Atlas of Human Imagination' from which others can benefit.

I highly recommend 'Atlas of Human Imagination' as an important reference tool in any studies seeking to explain and understand the world in which we live and how we got here as seen through the lens of a leading scientist."
