David Attenborough tells the story of this colourful scientific figure - covering his origins as the son of a Cambridge don through his work in natural history and broadcasting, his famous educational documentaries and his enduring scientific and popular legacy today.
Super Scientists are first biographies introducing some of the world's great scientists, simply retelling their lives and explaining why their work was vital. Illustrated with archive images and photographs, the chronology of each lifetime is emphasised by a timeline that runs through the book.
Sarah Ridley (Author) Sarah Ridley has an enduring interest in history, the natural world and many other topics, which has made her work as an editor and writer of children's information books endlessly fascinating. Some of her books have been shortlisted or longlisted for information book awards, including Dear Jelly: Family Letters from the First World War and Suffragettes and the Fight for the Vote. Sarah lives in Colchester with her husband and her student daughter's guinea pigs. Vivian Mineker (Illustrator) Vivian Mineker is a Taiwanese-American illustrator who mainly works with watercolour and gouache. When she's not drawing or painting, you can probably find her outside running around with her dog Darlie, browsing and sniffing at books in bookstores, and occasionally stopping for a cup of coffee or a piece of cake.
