SPACE ON EARTH

A beautiful, educational and fascinating book about space, focusing not only on showing children the awe and wonder of the universe, but also on teaching them why space is relevant to us here on Earth, written by a planetary physicist and science presenter.

Have you ever looked up into the sky and wondered about space, astronomy and the universe? Perhaps you have. But you've probably never looked around you - at the water you drink, the sunglasses you wear or the selfies people take - and thought about space. The truth is, there is more of space on earth than you realize.

Full of amazing facts about everyday innovations inspired by space travel and sections on the people who brought them to us, Space on Earth is an entertaining and fascinating look at space and the untold relationship with the planet we live on.

Dr. Sheila Kanani is the Education, Outreach & Diversity Officer at the Royal Astronomical Society. She is a planetary physicist, science presenter, secondary- school physics teacher and space comedian.

The book is widely illustrated by Del Thorpe, who, among others, is the illustrator of Horrible History.
