Andy has since individually created more than 5,000 illustrations that are featured in the range  of What on Earth? timelines. When not illustrating, Andy can be found exploring the countryside on his bike.

"This compendium of scientific facts was written in association with the American Museum of Natural History and includes a newspaper-style "Chronicle" of key moments in the history of science and a 50-question quiz. Visual learners, science and history buffs and philomaths, rejoice!" (Emilie, Coulter, Shelf Awareness)

"The What on Earth? series of wallbooks have become known for delivering the facts – on various subjects – in a fun, informative and visually appealing way. These books deliver on many levels and I couldn’t be more impressed. Never mind the children – I’d like the whole series for myself!" (www.pocketfulofrye.co.uk)

"Each volume contains a 6-foot-long illustrated chart showing, in hand-drawn pictures across a horizontal timeline, the occurrence of major historical events.....The Wallbooks, with their unique presentation of history, are one way for students -- of any age, really -- to follow their own interests into a deeper knowledge of the past." (Sarah Harrison Smith, Omnivoracious)

"Children LOVE the ‘What on Earth?’ format and this is a book that I have used in class frequently." (TEACHERS’ BOOK AWARDS REVIEW)

"Epic - this is history let out of a box" (Daily Telegraph)

"It simply sings to info-philes and visual learners alike. With parallel timelines for all continents, developments on land, sky and sea, more than a thousand illustrations, it is a superlative mastery of design and research, a treat to eye and brain alike." (Lucy H. Pearce, JUNO)
