Klappentext

In Big Ideas, Little Pictures, Jono Hey explains complex concepts through a combination of simple sketches and straightforward, easy-to-understand text. It's a fun, engaging approach to grasping challenging information, that's perhaps most clearly stated by one of his readers:

There are a lot of podcasts that I listen to: Stuff You Should Know or TED Talks but they each take up 30 minutes. With Sketchplanations - BOOM - in one picture I can get the gist of an idea and then your supporting text clarifies it even further."

Perfect for children as well as adults, Big Ideas, Little Pictures opens up a world of fascinating facts at a glance.
