About the Author
Lisa Swerling studied politics, philosophy, and economics at England's Oxford University. She formerly ran her own graphic design business in London. Together with Ralph Lazar, she created Last Lemon Productions, which originates, produces, and licenses cartoon properties.
Ralph Lazar studied law and economics at South Africa's University of Cape Town and the London School of Economics. He was formerly an investment strategist at Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse First Boston. With the Brainwaves, he and Lisa now bring together the vibrancy and humor that is at the heart of all of their work.
Reviews
Grade 3–6—A sprawling, unique overview of the various scientific fields. Although students will have to hunt through the dense layout to find facts, they will likely encounter what they are searching for. The index is an indispensable tool. The layout is intentionally busy, with tiny, colorful characters known as the Brainwaves jam-packed onto each page. Cracking jokes and demonstrating scientific principles, these lighthearted Lilliputians mostly serve to add levity to the proceedings, but occasionally provide helpful examples. Topics, which include the periodic table, force, and future science, are each presented on individual inventive spreads with facts in short bursts of text that intermingle with the illustrations. Appealing enough to inspire pleasure reading, the book will also serve those looking for scientific facts.—Travis Jonker, Dorr Elementary School, MI
