Great introduction to space for kids - attractive and well written., By
This review is from: Space A Children's Encyclopedia (Dk Reference) (Hardcover)
This is a great introduction to space and astronomy for children. It is visually very attractive with many stunning images but its real strength is how well thought out and good its content is scientifically. I had wrongly assumed that the DK series was the kind of eye candy you see piled up in bargain book stores with shallow poor content but this is not true in this case. The author Peter Bond is apparently a space journalist and fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and British Interplanetary Society and this expertise certainly shows. The book has really broad and up to date coverage of many topics including the big bang, our place in the universe, the life cycle of stars, black holes, the earth moon and solar system. The other theme is humans and space from early ideas, telescopes, famous discoveries and space missions and a section on how to start star gazing yourself. Content comes in well defined blocks of 2 to 4 pages with a mixture of great pictures and short paragraphs...

Bought this book for my 9 year old daughter and she loves it. If your child has any interest in space then they should get a lot out of it.

This review is from: Space A Children's Encyclopedia (Dk Reference) (Hardcover)
I bought this as a present for an 8 year old nephew. The combination of good quality illustrations and the right amount of supporting explanation means that he has really enjoyed reading it. Recommended.

 Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
