The Great Lives in Graphics series is a new way of looking at the
lives of famous and influential people. It takes the essential
dates and achievements of each person's life, mixes them with
lesser-known facts and trivia, and uses infographics to show them
in a fresh visual way that is genuinely engaging for children and
young adults. The result is a colourful, fascinating and often
surprising representation of that person's life, work and legacy.
Using timelines, maps, repeated motifs and many more beautiful and
informative illustrations, readers learn not just about the main
subject of the book but also about the cultural background of the
time they lived in. You may already know that Nikola Tesla was an
electrical engineer, but did you know that he was born during a
lightning storm? Or that he had a phobia of pearls? This graphic
retelling of Nikola's story gives children a colourful snapshot of
his life and the world he grew up in, while educating them on
everything from alternating current to the power of the
imagination. AGES: 8 to 12
