Industry Reviews
A glorious scientific gaze at our world, and the universe beyond in a fact-filled volume that will keep curious kids occupied for ages

A useful addition to any library catering to upper primary or lower secondary students.
-- Veronica Forsyth * Reading Time *

Despite it's scientific content the essays are written in a very accessible style and the many topics investigated which range from the physical explanations of the universe to earth science to robotics and future predictions. Highly recommended for curious minds from around 10 years upwards.

An excellent book that will do wonders to raise enthusiasm for science among young and old readers alike.
-- Jonali Karmakar, Blogger

An amazing book. It was a binge read, really - perfect for both parents and kids! It shouldn't be considered a "children's book" - it's also good for adults that want to learn more about science and don't have a background, as it's basically like a usual Hawking book, but a bit more simplified.
