Philip Steele writes children's non-fiction about history, places, science and the ways people have lived in different periods. His books include DKfindout! Vikings, DK Eyewitness Mesopotamia and biographies of figures such as Galileo, while A City Through Time follows an urban settlement as it changes across centuries. Castles, ancient civilisations, exploration and everyday historical life recur throughout his work, usually explained through maps, illustrations, timelines and short factual sections. Steele's books are made for browsing and research, with visual detail carrying as much information as the main text. Children's history, illustrated reference and ancient civilisations are the strongest links, with A City Through Time particularly useful for readers who enjoy Stephen Biesty-style visual cross-sections and DK books that reward close inspection as well as straightforward fact-finding.
