“If, like me, you're a huge fan of the Great Lives in Graphics series, then you'll love these new Factology titles. They are presented in a similarly engaging infographic style, including timelines, maps, statistics and illustrated facts, but are designed for slightly older readers [8+] which is seen in the denser text. They're also fantastic models for publishing non-fiction written pieces.”—@mrsbrownsbookbox
