After the end of the Second World War, Marie Neurath and her team at the Isotype Institute in London produced some of the most visually striking and innovative information books of the twentieth century. Produced in collaboration with the book-packaging company, Adprint under the Max Parrish imprint, Neurath's books for young people were illustrated and designed using the principles of Isotype to inspire the curiosity and engagement of children. Series such as 'The Wonder World of Nature', 'The Visual History of Mankind' and 'Wonders of the Modern World' illustrate her amazing contribution to the visual communication of complex information, and her lasting impact on information design. Drawing on previously unseen archival material from the Otto and Marie Neurath Isotype Collection at the University of Reading, this book explores the challenges Neurath encountered as a woman émigré designer in London, and charts how her ground-breaking books were made. The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the University of Reading, UK.
