A Day in the Life of an Astronaut, Mars and the Distant Stars Reviews

An engaging comic-book format, managing to pack in an incredible amount of information ... a fun and entertaining introduction to space for young children. * BBC Sky at Night Magazine *
It takes just 120 pages of humorous text and idiosyncratic cartoons to deliver a decent summary of our knowledge about space and the technology we use to investigate it. The science is comprehensive, sound and I learnt something new on every page... Barfield does not skip the difficult subjects (dark matter, speed of light) but gives us plenty of light-hearted detail as well: burps in space are quite the problem apparently! * Armadillo magazine *
