They Changed The World: Crick & Watson - The Discovery Of Dna

Description

As children are taught about these incredible inventors and ground-breakers in school, Campfire's graphic retelling of these great scientific events really brings the story to life, showing how the scientists involved raced to beat each other and how the results would change our lives forever.

Lewis Aaron Helfand was interested in cartoons, animation, and comics from a young age, and started writing as an amateur from the age of twelve. He has written numerous graphic novels for Campfire, including biographies of Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Wright Brothers. He is also the author of They Changed the World: Bell, Edison and Tesla. A resident of New Delhi, India, Naresh Kumar describes himself as a seeker who is continuously trying to learn as much as he can, and his art is an expression of his curiosity towards the world. A firm believer in humanity, Naresh brings an experienced hand to the drawing board, and his photo-realistic style captures the subtle emotions of his characters. His work features in a number of titles from Campfire, which include Julius Caesar, Martin Luther King, and Sinbad: The Legacy.

"What shines through the text is the fact that Crick and Watson could not have achieved their discovery without the ground work of co-operating scientists such as Rosalind Franklin and with additional input from Linus Pauling and Maurice Wilkins. This results in a clear message that great scientific discoveries are built upon the work of a team and that the altruism in sharing steps along the way leads to effective results." - The School Librarian (UK)
