Out today,
The Story of the Solar System - A Visual Journey
, is a sumptuous big book of space infographics written by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock off of
The Sky at Night
with some help by me and design/illustration by
Emma Price. Exactly what you and everyone you know wants for Christmas, if you even dare wait that long.
(Emma and I have another
book out next week, too...)
In case of interest,
Solar System is the latest of the infographics books I've worked on, following
Whographica (2016) written with Steve O'Brien and illustrated by
Ben Morris, and
Slayer Stats (2018) also written with Steve O'Brien and illustrated by
Ilaria Vescovo. I also wrote the regular "Sufficient Data" infographics for
Doctor Who Magazine, illustrated by Ben Morris and
Roger Langridge.
I've written before about some of what' involved in
producing an infographic. They are fiddly. And, if you're writing about space stuff, no sooner have you finished a complicated graphic showing all the moons of Saturns than those bothersome space scientists go and discover a whole load more.
