He frequently collaborated with author Richard Platt, who wrote the text for many of these titles, all originally published by DK. Biesty studied graphic design and illustration at Brighton Polytechnic before completing an MA at the City of Birmingham Polytechnic, specialising in historical and architectural reconstruction. His painstaking, research-led approach earned his books numerous awards, including the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year, and made his Incredible Cross-Sections series an enduring favourite with millions of young readers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSix award-winning hardback titles and a poster book in one box mean hours of visual discovery for curious minds.
