Living busily on Planet Earth, we rarely remember that we actually inhabit only a miniscule part of the universe. In The Planets and the Solar System, Jen Green paints the wider picture, and takes us on a journey across billions of kilometers in our galaxy, from our Sun to near and distant planets. Some, like Mercury, have a molten core surrounded with crust and spins quickly; Jupiter, on the other hand, is a big ball of gas.

In this remarkable audiobook, Professor Richard Wiseman presents a pioneering study of the mind-set that took humanity to the moon and shows how you can harness and use it to achieve the extraordinary in your everyday life. Combining personal interviews, mission archives and cutting-edge psychology, Wiseman embarks on the ultimate voyage through inner space. Along the way he identifies eight key principles that make up the Apollo mind-set, including how pessimism is crucial to success and how fear and tragedy can be transformed into hope and optimism. 

In the most authoritative book ever written about Apollo, David Whitehouse reveals the true drama behind the mission, telling the story in the words of those who took part - based around exclusive interviews with the key players. This enthralling book takes us from the early rocket pioneers to the shock America received from the Soviets' launch of the first satellite, Sputnik; from the race to put the first person into space, through President Kennedy's enthusiasm and later doubts, to the astronauts' intense competition to leave the first footprint.

In this illuminating audiobook, Tyson and coauthor James Trefil, a renowned physicist and science popularizer, take on the big questions that humanity has been posing for millennia - How did life begin?

A proton has not changed since the universe was a second old. A knot tied in a loop of string cannot be undone without cutting. A star burns steadily for ten billion years, and then, in its final hour, snaps into one of exactly three possible afterlives. Across the whole night sky, galaxies hang in a single vast web that looks the same in every direction. We are used to explaining each of these marvels with its own private science, in its own private dialect.

You are holding something solid. A book. It has weight. Push it; it pushes back. Drop it on your foot and you will know what mass means before any physicist has finished explaining it. Now ask the question almost nobody asks. Where does that weight come from? Not the book. The matter the book is made of. The atoms. The particles inside the atoms. The little buzzing things inside those particles. Where does any of it get the property of being heavy, of being there, of refusing to vanish when you look away? The honest answer is that physics has three answers, and they do not match.
