Another instalment from our bestselling concertina series, Tom leads us through the defining moments of that tense, tumultuous and exciting phase of the Cold War known as the Space Race, covering the period from both the perspectives of the 'Free World' and the Communist USSR. Illustrated throughout, Space Race is not only a beautiful work of art, but also comes with a fact sheet detailing important breakthroughs in space travel on both sides of the Iron Curtain between 1957 and 1975, making it a fantastic tool for educators and young historians alike.
Author Biography
Tom Clohosy Cole is a freelance illustrator living and working in London. Leaving his hometown of Brighton, UK, he went to study at Kingston University and graduated in 2011 with a degree in illustration and animation. He has a love of printmaking, and always tries to make work with that in mind. He is constantly drawn to atmospheric and dramatic landscapes and finds them continually creeping into his artwork. He's been fostering a love for all things 'Space' for many years, and so the making of this book was a real source of enjoyment. Alongside illustration, Tom likes to dabble in animation, enjoying most the point where the two practices meet. His most recent children's books include The Red Prince for Templar.
