The Story of Science

Weldon Owen, 2012.

The publishers of this book were in Australia, and I was working on it from home in Bristol, England. The (wonderful) editor found an illustrator, Dave Smith, who was great, and I set about sending rough sketches and other reference materials to Australia by email. After a couple of months, I discovered by chance that the illustrator lived in … Bristol, England! One of those crazy coincidences. Of course, we met up and it was a whole lot easier.

As a lover of science and a lover of the power of story, I love this book. I’m proud of it.
