An introduction to geography, which is all about how the world affects people, and how people affect the world.
Sarah Hull (Author)
Sarah grew up in London, then studied German and Fine Art in Oxford
and Hamburg. She joined Usborne after working at Profile Books and
Thames & Hudson, and now spends her time writing about art,
investigating germs and devising ways to stave off boredom - all
the important things, basically.
Minna Lacey (Author)
Since joining Usborne, Minna has written books on everything from
pirates and gladiators to jungles and oceans. She studied Maths and
Philosophy at university and previously worked as a journalist and
illustrator in London, Bogota and New York. In her spare time, she
loves writing stories, drawing and playing the guitar.
Lara Bryan (Author)
Lara has loved books since the days of being read bedtime stories
by her Irish dad and French mum. At school she set up a secondhand
bookshop called Books Change Lives, and went on to study English
and Italian at Oxford University. After teaching in Italy and
Myanmar, she got her dream job as a writer for Usborne Publishing.
From explaining how economics works, to inventing boredom-busting
activities, to telling a good dragon yarn, she's enjoyed every
minute of the job.
