About the Authors: Giles Sparrow studied astronomy at University College, London, and science communication at Imperial College, before embarking on a career in publishing. Starting out as an editor, he worked on various science reference books for young readers, including DK's Eyewitness series and their larger Visual Encyclopedia series. He is now a popular science author with a string of beautiful and successful books for adults and children under his belt, including Universe: The Definitive Visual Guide, Cosmos, Spaceflight, Exploring the Solar System series, and many others.

R. Fresson makes illustrations that nod to the past. She hand-draws in pen and ink, then colours digitally, inspired by the print processes of early 20th century comics and magazines. Her line-work is lodged in the ligne-claire style, made famous by Hergé, Joost Swarte, Bob de Moor and Theo van den Boogaard among many others. Humour is an important aspect to R. Fresson's work and she continues to develop a witty practice with a dextrous vintage aesthetic, working with clients including the New York Times, Monocle, The Guardian, GQ and The New Yorker.
