About this deal

Intrepid wildlife reporter Andy Seed is back with another collection of interviews for which he has risked personal safety, and gotten seriously wet, while talking to the giants of the oceans.

This is the first time in Earth's history that a single species - humanity - has brought such disaster upon the natural world.From black holes to dining experiences on the International Space Station, this wonderful volume from a prize-winning scientist and broadcaster collates tons of thrilling information for aspiring astronauts. When that happens to really big stars you can get some really, really spectacular supernovas,' Ashley says. From whether there are rainbows on other planets to what dinner tastes like on the International Space Station, this book is packed full of fabulous facts, mind-blowing insights and engaging explanations from the renowned space scientist. The Tarantula Nebula, also known as 30 Doradus, is a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small galaxy close to the Milky Way. Written in Dr Maggie’s fun, accessible style, and featuring out-of-this-world illustrations throughout, it’s guaranteed to bring the wonders of space and science to life for young readers.

Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction. Stars are immense objects - over 99% of the mass in our solar system is in our Sun - and gravity squeezes them.For many, the Natural History Museum is a place that inspires learning, gives purpose and provides hope. A fascinating, gruesome, and utterly hilarious book filled with facts all about slime - from the slime sun-cream made by hippos to the monstrous fatberg hiding under the streets of London.

About 2,400 massive stars in the centre of the nebula produce intense radiation and powerful 'winds' of ejected material. Yes, we are all made up of elements that would have been part of stars, and which could have passed through numerous stars before ending up in us…isn’t that amazing and beautiful?Mae Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock yn wyddonydd gofod go iawn ac mae’n frwd dros rannu rhyfeddodau’r gofod a gwyddoniaeth. We are always keen to hear from people and like-minded organisations who are interested in working with us.

Captured by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in 2011, this image of the North America Nebula shows a cluster of young stars (about one million years old). So it's very likely that there are a whole bunch of different stars that have contributed the elements we see in our own solar system, our planet and those found within you.

The Oxford Trust is a charity and our Science Oxford team could not deliver its education and engagement programmes without the fantastic support of a multitude of partners. Written in Dr Maggie's fun, accessible style, and featuring out-of-this-world illustrations throughout, it's guaranteed to bring the wonders of space and science to life for young readers. This book is full of wondrous facts, questions and answers about space, spacecrafts and galaxies far, far away. Every year, more people are reading our articles to learn about the challenges facing the natural world. Things that are made at high temperatures in the atmosphere of stars are resistant to acid and therefore left behind.
