Biographie de l'auteur: Andrew became a graphic novel artist by accident. Like Yuri Gagarin he grew up building and flying model planes and even model rockets, but unlike Yuri, he wasn t brave enough for the real thing. Most of his career has been spent either designing and drawing things or explaining things. Being able to tell such an amazing story as that of the first man in space, by designing and drawing seems like a good mix... and a rare privilege. When not trying to put Yuri s story into pictures, Andrew lectures on design history and theory to students on architecture, design and professional model making degrees. Piers has written about science, aerospace and cosmology for a wide variety of magazines in the UK and the US. 2001: Filming the Future, his award-winning book on the making of Stanley Kubrick s 2001: A Space Odyssey, has become a standard reference work. It was also the basis for a C4 documentary film. In 1997, The Rivers of Mars, his critically acclaimed analysis of the life on Mars debate, was shortlisted for the NASA/Eugene M. Emme Award for Astronautical Writing, while his acclaimed book The Man Who Ran the Moon told the story of NASA s lunar-era chief for the first time: not Wernher von Braun, but a North Carolina lawyer named Jim Webb. Invisible Worlds (Weidenfeld & Nicholson) explored the borderland where 21st Century science meets art. Bizony also helped create the Millennium Fund bid for the At-Bristol complex in the UK. Bizony also created, wrote, picture-researched and project-managed Space: 50, a major colour book collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and worldwide publishers HarperCollins, marking the 50th anniversary of Sputnik. His recent project, Atom, a tie-in book for a BBC TV series, tells the dramatic story of the rivalries and passions at play during the discovery of quantum physics. Peter has produced a dynamic print material promoting the public understanding of science. His most committed was the flagship Frontiers magazine for PPARC (Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council). Peter has regularly collaborated on cutting-edge science promotions in both the UK and Europe.
