Shakespeare to Coco Chanel / The Amazing People Club
15th September 2010
Ever wanted to ask William Shakespeare what he did to become famous in London? Or find out how Coco Chanel's life took her from rags to riches? What inspired Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and other great musicians? Meet them, and many others, in this new and unique series from The Amazing People Club!
The series has been developed by psychologist, Dr Charles Margerison, and gives readers a 'virtual opportunity' to meet amazing people. The books and audios bring readers 'face to face' with many of the world's most inspiring and influential characters in science, medicine, business, music, engineering, aviation and the arts. Their stories are revealed through BioViews ®, a newly-developed concept in storytelling that combines a biography with a virtual interview - where people tell you their life stories on a personal and confidential basis.
A full range of important historical characters from different ages are featured in the series, including Michelangelo, Pasteur, Curie and Brunel. More modern figures include entertainers like Elvis Presley, Edith Piaf and Louis Armstrong. They 'come back to life' to tell their own stories through concise and accessible interviews. In that sense, the reader travels through time to meet them, in order to better understand what motivated them to succeed.
In Amazing Women discover the story of Elizabeth Blackwell, the world's first female doctor. In Amazing Entrepreneurs find out who developed the McDonald chain of restaurants, the history of Boots the Chemist and Georges de Mestral's amazing invention.
In Amazing Love Stories find out why Madame de Pompadour remained King Louis XV's long term mistress, but did not marry him. Learn where Charles Dickens got his ideas and how Sir Christopher Wren came to design St Paul's Cathedral and other great churches in Amazing People of London.
Each title also includes a final section that summarises each subject's achievements and how these achievements have been recognised. The Amazing People Club titles are available in book, downloadable audio and eBook formats.
