Wonders of the Solar System
$39.95
Wonders of the Solar System reveals the Solar System around us as you have never seen it before; from the giant ice fountains of Enceladus to the liquid methane seas of Titan and from storms twice the size of the Earth to the tortured moon of lo with its giant super-volcanoes.
Professor Brian Cox takes you on a journey of discovery where alien worlds become places you can see, feel and visit. He introduces you to the planets and moons beyond our world, finding the biggest, most bizarre and most powerful natural phenomena. He visits some of the most spectacular and extreme locations on Earth to unveil wonders of the Solar System that can be found on Earth itself.
Employing his trademark clear, authoritative, yet down-to-earth approach, Brian explores how these previously unseen phenomena have dramatically expanded our horizons with new discoveries about the planets, their moons and how they came to be the way they are.

Challengers
$29.95
On the freezing-cold morning of 28 January 1986, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all seven people on board. Millions around the world witnessed the tragic deaths of the crew, which included New Hampshire schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Yet the full story of what happened that day - and the ominous warning signs recognised but then ignored in the years before - has never been told.
Following a handful of central protagonists - from the astronauts and their families to the rocket engineers who tried to stop the fateful launch - Challenger a gripping tale of human overreach; of cynicism and cost cutting; of hubristic 'go fever'; and of an investigation driven by heroic whistle-blowers determined to bring the truth to light. Blending human dram with fascinating science and political infighting, Challenger is a masterpiece of non-fiction storytelling. The result is a story even more extraordinary and terrifying than any of us remembered - or thought possible.
