Do something amazing and learn a new skill thanks to the Little Ways to Live a Big Life books! The beginning of the 20th century heralded a scientific revolution: what a few brilliant minds uncovered about our reality in the first twenty years has shaped the history of our species. And one of them in particular stands out: Einstein, with his celebrated E=mc2.In this remarkable and insightful book, Christophe Galfard describes how E=mc2 is a direct consequence of the Theory of Special Relativity, the theory of how objects move and behave, at speeds close to the speed of light. He considers Einsteins legacy in the light of the 21st century, with fresh hindsight, and considers its impact on our vision of reality. The reader will discover that far from being just a formula, it is a brand new understanding of the nature of space and time.Some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs in the history of science have been made by geniuses who managed to merge and unite hitherto separated domains of knowledge. Galfard explores two unifications with Einsteins theories, and looks at the even bigger picture of how E=mc2 has changed our world, and what it entails for the future.Throughout, Galfard takes the reader on an extremely entertaining journey, using simple, jargon-free language to help the reader gain a deeper understanding of science. With humour and patience, he guides us through the world of particles, anti-matter and much more to bring us closer to an ultimate understanding of reality as we understand it today.

Imagine if The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy were a real, practical book about the mysteries of the universe . . .The Universe in Your Hand takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant black holes. Along the way you might come to understand, really understand, the mind-bending science that underpins modern life, from quantum mechanics to Einsteins theory of general relativity.Through brilliant storytelling and humour rather than graphs and equations, internationally renowned astrophysicist Christophe Galfard has written an instant classic that brings the astonishing beauty of the universe to life and takes us deep into questions about the beginning of time and the future of humanity.

What a fun book! Like having a chat with a friendly scientist over a coffee Steve Brusatte, author of The Rise and Fall of the DinosaursI cant remember when I last enjoyed a biology book so much Brian Clegg, author of The Universe Inside YouA gorgeous, glorious romp through the sciences David Tong, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of CambridgeWhat is life? How did it first appear? Where else in the universe might we find it?In This Is Life, acclaimed science communicator and Stephen Hawkings former Ph.D. student Christophe Galfard takes you on a wonder-filled journey through the complete history of life on earth, from its birth and the mysterious colonies of bacteria that lived billions of years ago, through the extreme evolutionary turns that saw sea scorpions grow to the size of dogs and trees covered in scales, to the visionary discoveries of the past two centuries that have allowed us to understand what we, humans, and all other living organisms really are.Through brilliant storytelling and delightful humour, Galfard makes the secrets of the living world accessible to all. This Is Life will transform the way you see the world, and your place in it.

No estás solo en el universo.Y no estás solo en este viaje por el universo.Estás tumbado mirando el cielo en una playa cuando alguien te coge de la mano.Te guía en una odisea alucinante hasta los agujeros negros, las galaxias mas lejanas y el inicio mismo del cosmos.Abandonas tu cuerpo y te desplazas a velocidades imposibles, te introduces en un nucleo atomico,viajas en el tiempo, entras en el Sol.No es que te expliquen el universo. Es que lo tocas.No es que por fin entiendas el universo.Lo tienes en tu mano.****Christophe Galfard, el mejor discipulo de Stephen Hawking, es uno de los divulgadores cientificos mas renombrados del planeta. "El universo en tu mano" ha recibido el premio al mejor libro de ciencia de 2015 en Francia, donde lleva vendidos mas de 50.000 ejemplares.
