Biographic: Churchill by Richard Wiles
Many people know that Sir Winston Churchill (1874- 1965) was a British statesman and prime minister, a speechmaker who led Britain through the dark days of the Second World War. What, perhaps, they don t know is that he came under enemy fire over 50 times; took 36 bottles of wine, 18 of scotch and 6 of vintage brandy to the Boer War; painted over 600 works of art and won the Nobel Prize for Literature; and developed his taste for Havana cigars while working as a war correspondent in the Cuban War of Independence. Biographic: Churchill presents the finest hours of his life and work, with various facts and figures converted into infographics to reveal the man behind the politics. Chapters include: Life World Work Legacy The Biographic series presents an entirely new way of looking at the lives of the world's greatest thinkers and creatives. It takes the 50 defining facts, dates, thoughts, habits and achievements of each subject and uses infographics to convey them in vivid snapshots.
Richard Wiles studied the works of Monet at Northwich College of Art & Design in the late 1960s. After becoming a guinea pig in a fledgling course that attempted to marry fine art with commercial art, he dropped out of art school and studied periodical journalism, photography and printing processes at the London College of Printing. As a writer, editor and illustrator, he has successfully blended graphic design and editorial skills in the creation of magazines and books on topics ranging from interior design to popular culture.
