Great Lives in Graphics: David Attenborough gives young readers a visual snapshot of his life and television career, while educating them on topics from documentary filmmaking to climate change and biodiversity.
You may already know that David Attenborough is a broadcaster, writer and naturalist who revolutionised the way that wildlife documentaries are made. But did you know that his fascination with the natural world began in childhood, when he would collect fossils and catch newts? Or that he started his career in television behind the scenes, commissioning some of the BBC’s most ground-breaking and timeless programmes? And that his brother Richard was an acclaimed director and actor in Hollywood films?
Great Lives in Graphics reimagines the lives of extraordinary people in vivid technicolour, presenting 250+ biographical facts in a new and exciting way. 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 in which they lived.
