About the Author



Steven Parker's writing career began with 10 early titles in Dorling Kindersley's multi-award-winning Eyewitness series, from the late 1980s to the late 1990s. He has since worked for more than a dozen children's book publishers and been shortlisted for, among others, the Rhone-Poulenc Science Book Prize, Times Educational Information Book of the Year, and Blue Peter Book Award.[3]
In 2009 he co-wrote The Complete Guide to Minerals, Rocks and Fossils of the World, with John Farndon, (Lorenz Educational Press)
In 2013 Parker's title Science Crazy (QED) won the UK School Library Association's Information Book Award, [4] and Fizzing Physics (QED) won the Hampshire Information Book Award.[5]
