Description

An in-depth yet easy-to-read guide to the physics of the universe for older children, with stunning illustrations throughout. The perfect gift for a child interested in science, physics, astronomy and space.

Divided into four sections – In the Beginning, Starlife, The Solar System and The Big Universe – Dr Ben Still guides us from the very tiniest particles right up to the largest things in our universe, from quarks to quasars. Illustrated by Thomas Pullin, the artwork throughout is a stunning mixture of technical, information-led drawings and beautiful impressions of galaxies and the wider universe.
