Embark on the adventure of a lifetime in this beautiful collection of up-to-the-minute essays by the world''s leading scientists including Professor Stephen Hawking himself, plus mind-blowing facts and out-of-this-world colour photographs.

George and Annie are off on another cosmic adventure inspired by the Mars Expedition in the fifth book of the George’s Secret Key series from Stephen and Lucy Hawking. George and his best friend, Annie, have been selected as junior astronauts for a program that trains young people for a future trip to Mars. This is everything they’ve ever wanted—and now they get to be a part of up-to-the minute space discoveries and meet a bunch of new friends who are as fascinated by the universe as they are. But when they arrive at space camp, George and Annie quickly learn that strange things are happening—on Earth as well as up in the skies. Mysterious space missions are happening in secret, and the astronaut training they’re undertaking gets scarier and scarier…

George and Annie explore the galaxy in this cosmic adventure from Stephen Hawking and Lucy Hawking, complete with essays from Professor Hawking about the latest in space travel. George is heartbroken when he learns that his friend Annie and her father are moving to the US. Eric has a new job working for the space program, looking for signs of life in the Universe. Eric leaves George with a gift—a book called The User’s Guide to the Universe. But Annie and Eric haven’t been gone for very long when Annie believes that she is being contacted by aliens, who have a terrible warning for her. George joins her in the US to help her with her quest—and before he knows it, he, Annie, Cosmos, and Annie’s annoying cousin Emmett have been swept up in a cosmic treasure hunt, spanning the whole galaxy and beyond. Lucy Hawking''s own experiences in zero-gravity flight and interviews with astronauts at Cape Kennedy and the Johnson Space Center lend the book a sense of realism and excitement that is sure to fire up imaginations. The book includes essays written by Professor Hawking and his colleagues, in which they provide the latest thoughts on space travel.

Explore how the universe began—and thwart evil along the way—in this cosmic adventure from Stephen and Lucy Hawking that includes a graphic novel. George has problems. He has twin baby sisters at home who demand his parents’ attention. His beloved pig Freddy has been exiled to a farm, where he’s miserable. And worst of all, his best friend, Annie, has made a new friend whom she seems to like more than George. So George jumps at the chance to help Eric with his plans to run a big experiment in Switzerland that seeks to explore the earliest moment of the universe. But there is a conspiracy afoot, and a group of evildoers is planning to sabotage the experiment. Can George repair his friendship with Annie and piece together the clues before Eric’s experiment is destroyed forever? This engaging adventure features essays by Professor Stephen Hawking and other eminent physicists about the origins of the universe and ends with a twenty-page graphic novel that explains how the Big Bang happened—in reverse!

George travels to the future in the epic conclusion of the George’s Secret Key series from Lucy Hawking. When George finds a way to escape the spacecraft Artemis, where he has been trapped, he is overjoyed. But something is wrong. There’s a barren wasteland where his hometown used to be, intelligent robots roam the streets, and no one will talk to George about the Earth that he used to know. With the help of an unexpected new friend, can George find out what—or who—is behind this terrible new world, before it’s too late?

Follows the adventures of a young boy and his neighbor friend as they travel through a computer portal into outer space, where they explore such mysteries as black holes and the origins of the universe, while trying to evade an evil scientist.

Sometimes you find friendship in the most unlikely places. Thirty-something Fleur Bonner has a career selling fake antiques, a London flat with no central heating, and no focus. She agrees to train for the London marathon, joining the misfits, the lost, and the lonely who make up the Battersea Park New Runners Club, hoping it may provide a welcome change in her unfulfilling life. But then her boss disappears, and it appears that her job may actually be a front for art forgery. She quickly goes from girl-about-town to jailbird, not understanding what happened and why. Maybe those misfits from the Battersea Park New Runners Club can provide some answers. . .

A successful London banker appears to have it all until he flees his high-priced apartment in the middle of the night, wearing only pajamas and claiming his life is in danger. His four best friends set out to discover whether their friend has had a breakdown or if, in fact, someone is after him.

George and Annie are off on another cosmic adventure to figure out why strange things are happening on Earth in the fourth book of the George’s Secret Key series from Stephen and Lucy Hawking. George and his best friend Annie haven’t had any space adventures for a while and they’re missing the excitement. But not for long, because seriously strange things have started happening. Banks are handing out free money, supermarkets aren’t able to charge for their products so people are getting free food, and aircrafts are refusing to fly. It looks like the world’s biggest and best computers have all been hacked. And no one knows why… It’s up to George and Annie to travel further into space than ever before in order to find out what—or who—is behind it.

Thirtysomething Fleur Bonner has often wished for what she can''t have. To be thinner. Taller. To be more successful. Instead, she has what she never wished for: a rock star for an estranged dad, a career selling fake antiques and a London flat with no central heating. And she certainly never wished for the chance to run, not even a few yards. But when she accidentally agrees to train for the London marathon, her impulsive decision seems a good idea in a life cut rather adrift. Perhaps, along with the misfits, the lost and the lonely who make up the Battersea Runners'' Club, Fleur will find the focus that she seems to have lost. Before they get anywhere near the starting line, Fleur''s cobbled-together existence is rudely ripped apart. From girl-about-town to jail-bird, her fall is swift and brutal. But what happened? And why? And will her cell door lock forever or will she find her freedom once again?

Everyone talks about how powerful the oceans are, how huge, how mysterious, all those underwater creatures living down there in the deep. But they''ve got no one to stand up for them! Olivia Alez is loving her life away from the royal palace. Now she isn''t a princess anymore she''s even more determined to be a science investigator, finding out things about the world around her. When she goes to visit her uncle Cassander for a holiday, she realises there''s a huge problem. The oceans are filled with rubbish, and she can''t see any fish swimming about. They''re nothing like the bright blue seas full of life that she''s seen before. When Captain Max and his parrot turn up, Olivia and her best friend Ravi decide that getting on board their pirate ship as they hunt for treasure might be a good way to find out what''s going on in the water. But they quickly realise that they''ve got more to discover than they ever imagined . . .

The brand new series for young readers from bestselling author Lucy Hawking. ''The more we find out about the world around us, the more we can work out other, more complicated things, such as how the universe began or how life got started on Earth . . .'' Olivia Alez is delighted about finally living a life away from the royal palace in the mountains that used to be her home, after the Kingdom of Alez decides it doesn''t want a royal family any more. Now she can finally give up boring princess lessons and learn about real things, like volcanoes and the ocean and space! But Olivia is completely unprepared for the world that awaits her. Thick, dark clouds hang low over the city, and the rivers that she so longed to see are choked with rubbish. And on top of it all, the weather just feels wrong. With scorching hot sun one day and torrential rainfall the next, it seems nearly impossible for the people and animals in Alez to adapt to their extreme climate. Olivia, horrified by what she sees, becomes determined to get to the bottom of Alez''s dangerous weather patterns. With the help of some new friends and armed with a scientific lab coat that would make Albert Einstein jealous, Olivia sets out to solve the mystery and save Alez from climate destruction before it''s too late . . .

Con La clave secreta del Universo el genial Stephen Hawking y su hija Lucy han conseguido acercar a los pequeños -y no tan pequeños- las maravillas y los secretos del Universo, y demostrarnos que la ciencia también puede ser divertida y apasionante. A George nada le gusta más en el mundo que mirar las estrellas; también le encantaría tener un ordenador con el que navegar y conocer más sobre el Universo, pero sabe que eso es misión imposible. En casa, sus padres son tan ecologistas que no quieren ni oír hablar del progreso y la ciencia. Pero lo que ellos no saben es que el enemigo está muy cerca. Acaba de llegar un nuevo vecino que, ¡horror!, es un eminente científico, y eso, para los padres de George, solo significa una cosa: peligro. Si hubieran imaginado lo que le esperaba a su hijo, nunca le habrían dejado entrar en su casa... Reseña: «Se juntan el asombro de un niño con la agudeza intelectual de un genio.» The Sunday Times

ES HORA DE MIRAR HACIA FUERA, AL UNIVERSO ¿Cómo hubiera sido caminar por una Tierra cubierta de lava hace medio millón de años? ¿Te imaginas cómo sería estar cerca de un volcán a punto de entrar en erupción? ¿O de dar tu primer paso en la Luna? ¿Qué harías si los robots se hicieran con el control del planeta? Descifrar el universo es una interesante colección de ensayos llenos de información que Stephen y Lucy Hawking recopilaron juntos en un solo libro. Además, incluye contenido inédito sobre temas tan actuales como la genética, el multiverso, la ética de la Inteligencia Artificial o el problema del negacionismo científico. Esta edición bellamente ilustrada es la guía perfecta para conseguir entender el universo. «PODEMOS LLEGAR CON AUDACIA HASTA DONDE NADIE HA LLEGADO ANTES. ¿QUIÉN SABE LO QUE ENCONTRAREMOS Y A QUIÉN CONOCEREMOS?». STEPHEN HAWKING Descifrar el universo es una colección de ensayos fantásticos llenos de información que reunimos juntos en un solo libro, que incluye, además, contenido inédito fabuloso sobre temas que siempre me habían interesado, como la genética, el multiverso y un nuevo texto sobre agujeros negros. Nuestras nuevas incorporaciones también hablan de la ética de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y el problema del negacionismo científico, y nuestro fichaje más joven se encarga de explicarnos el cambio climático. El día en el que a mi padre y a mí se nos ocurrió escribir la historia de un niño que cae en un agujero negro parece ya muy lejano; el primer libro que creamos juntos surgió a partir de una pregunta que le hicieron a mi padre en una fiesta de cumpleaños. Esa pregunta nos lanzó a la misión de escribir todo un libro para responderla. Creo que podemos afirmar con la mano en el corazón que, cuando haces una pregunta, nunca sabes lo que puede pasar.

O călătorie spre începuturile timpului La Marele Accelerator de Hadroni, impresionantul accelerator de particule construit în anii din urmă la graniţa dintre Elveţia şi Franţa, este pe cale să înceapă unul dintre cele mai importante experimente ştiinţifice din istorie. Savanţi veniţi din toate colţurile lumii sunt pregătiţi de explorarea primelor momente ale Universului, în încercarea de a căpăta informaţii despre Big Bang, explozia iniţială din care provin toate. Însă experimentul este pus în pericol de o organizaţie secretă, care intenţionează să împiedice orice progres al ştiinţei. George şi Annie, îndrăgiţii eroi ai primelor două volume ale acestei serii pentru copii şi tineri, sunt absorbiţi în vâltoarea unor noi aventuri care-ţi îngheaţă sângele în vine... În cursa lor contra cronometru pentru a dejuca planurile acelei organizaţii malefice, ei depăşesc graniţele galaxiei noastre, ba chiar şi graniţele Universului vizibil, ajungând să exploreze planul lumii cuantice. Alături le este, ca de obicei, Cosmos, cel mai performant calculator din lume, care le oferă ajutor şi informaţii atunci când au nevoie. Cartea conţine câteva dintre cele mai recente teorii ştiinţifice cu privire la călătoria în timp şi la Big Bang, precum şi diverse eseuri speciale, aparţinând unora dintre cei mai mari oameni de ştiinţă din lume (printre aceştia, desigur, se numără şi Stephen Hawking). Maniera de prezentare, sub formă de naraţiune, este atractivă şi pe înţelesul tinerilor, diverse ilustraţii punctând de fiecare dată noile informaţii oferite cititorului. În finalul cărţii există chiar şi o bandă desenată ce prezintă, succint, o desfăşurare în sens invers a evoluţiei Universului, începând din prezent şi încheindu-se în momentul Big Bangului. Volumul include 32 de pagini cu fotografii color ce înfăţişează imagini autentice din spaţiul cosmic.
