Many books are being published on the subject but this is absolutely one of the best I've come across for children. Each page is packed full of interesting information written in an accessible style and accompanied by fabulous illustrations, diagrams and photographs, which help bring the experience to life. An inspiring woman full of knowledge ready to ensure there is a new generation of astronauts, scientists and astrophysicists! Overcoming Dyslexia to study at Imperial College, she obtained her degree in Physics and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering. This is like an enhanced glossary with information set out clearly and accessibly, including a really useful list of ‘space words’, to which I referred regularly as I read the book.
