Publisher's Synopsis
From Basher, the illustrator who showed the periodic table in a whole new light and gave us his spin on physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry and more, comes a book that gives a fresh take on the USA with a characterful and information-packed guide to states and capitals.States and Capitals follows on from the highly successful Presidents with another all-American theme. Who better than Basher to give each state a face, voice and personality in a fun, fact-packed gazetteer. From Alabama to Wyoming, and including the District of Columbia and six US territories, each place gets the Basher treatment. Find out how Connecticut go to be called the Nutmeg State and what made landlocked Utah choose the seagull as its state bird. Each place gets to boast about why it is special, and there are unusual facts about each capital as well as details of state birds, state flowers, state mottos, key dates, and flags.
