Dr Maggie's Grand Tour of the Solar System

Product Information

Diversity is not just about ethnicity, it’s also about diversity of thought and experience. When we have a diverse group of people working together, we come up with more creative solutions.” Full of facts and illustrations, this is a fascinating tour of the Solar System * Mini Travellers Blog * A lot of care has been taken with the language and conversational, yet scientifically precise, style. There are anecdotes about dumping pee and losing a goo spreader; but also important scientific nuggets about instant crystallisation upon freezing and the potential dangers of space debris.

But – in our view – the greatest selling point of this book is that nothing is dumbed down. Yes, the book is very accessible and engaging, but it also treats the reader like an inquisitive scientist. There’s ample scope to research the concepts in this book more deeply, and look up facts to find even more detail. This fantastic, imaginative reference book would be a wonderful resource in the classroom and treasured by any young person with an interest in space.
