The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --<i>New York Times</i> <p/>Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --<i>Popular Science</i>, praise for the Science Comics Series <p/>Praise for <i>Science Comics: Volcanoes: </i> <p/><b></b>Chad's well-drawn and clearly labeled diagrams in rich, saturated colors concisely explain key concepts, and vocabulary words are defined both in the text and a glossary. While the stylized cartoon figures and adventure narrative are an entertaining framework, the science fittingly occupies the center stage. --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>The artwork is bold and engaging, cleverly intertwining the science and the more fantastical elements of the narrative.-- <i>School Library Journal</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Jon Chad</b> was born and raised in Vermont.
