Discover the ten things we all should know about mathematics in this fascinating collection of short essays
The whole cosmos in your hands, The Universe in Bite-sized Chunks is your one- stop guide to everything you ever wanted to know about space and our place in it.
Since the earliest humans walked the earth, the vast mysteries and wonders of the night sky have fascinated and beguiled us, as we struggled to understand our place in the cosmos.

Is time travel possible? - provide a fascinating insight into the vastness and infinite possibilities of space that we're yet to determine. The sheer scale of the universe can be intimidating, but in this easily digestible book we embark on an incredible journey through all the essential astronomical discoveries, from the beliefs of ancient civilizations, through to the recent groundbreaking observations of the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein over 100 years ago.
