Or that he was banned from boxing for 3 ½ years and almost went to jail for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War?

- Fact-packed infographics capture critical information
- Built-in colour-coded biography
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 genuinely engages 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 about the book's primary subject and the cultural background of the time in which they lived.
