Nov 16, 2017 - Bristol. George Series 1-3 By Stephen And Lucy Hawking Programs Word. Press VIP Alternative. After building the product for Huffington Post,. My 3.5 year old son is completely hooked on this fabulous book! We're plowing through it in just a few nights and he doesn't want it to end. I was floored when after the first night of my husband reading it to him he ran up to me excitedly the next morning and said 'Mama, I know how stars are birthed, wanna hear about it?' And proceeded to give me a very sweet and stunningly accurate lecture on the topic! I wish there were more books like this out there -- smart, not sassy and rude, fun loving, and adventurous! I bought this book for my grandson, who is now in middle school. After it arrived and before I wrapped it, I glanced through it. What an awakening! Here in clear language, are the major theories of astro-physics. Do you know why Mars is red? Do you have even a rudimentary understanding of black holes? I did not and did not realize that certain types of radiation can escape them. Buy this book for your middle school child/grandchild, but take the time to read it with them and talk with them about it. You will learn a great deal. Read it to your kid in elementary school. It will be a time of bonding as well as a time of mutual growth. Yes, not only can we learn from our children, we can learn together with them. Stephen Hawking and his daughter have done a great thing. Grandma and Grandpa sent us this book and we are so glad they did. I started reading it out loud to my three kids, ages 11, 7 and 4. They were captivated by the fun mystery in the beginning and we got to chapter six before they would let me stop reading. Then my 11-year old took over the book and finished it the next day. He loved the suspense and the dangers in the story and also the science pictures and explanations. He said if any one asked him, he would say it is the 'best book of the year!' There you have it, from the mouth of babes. Who says you can't explain theoretical physics to kids? Certainly not Stephen and Lucy Hawking, the authors of this children's adventure novel. Stephen Hawking is the bestselling author of A Brief History of Time which has been said to 'marry a child's wonder to a genius's intellect.' Lucy Hawking is his daughter and a journalist. George's Secret Key to the Universe is their first collaboration, and what fun it is! Alongside a tale of scientific adventure, the Hawkings provide readers with scientific diagrams, charts, and full-color photos of real images from space, with help from Christophe Galfard, a former student of Stephen Hawking. The line illustrations by Garry Parsons also add a lighthearted feel to the book--the representation of George was charmingly reminiscent of The Little Prince--and they certainly complement the voice of the novel - innocent, curious, and playful. The novel also includes Hawking's latest ideas on black holes. They are presented within the story as a series of scientist Eric's notes, complete with handwritten doodles and age-appropriate language for Annie and George. In the 1994 bestseller Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy (Fsg Classics), Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder gifted us with a fascinating primer on philosopher in novel form. He took us into the world of Sophie, a 15 year old who learned about the wisdom of thinkers from the pre-Socrates to St. Augustine through a series of letters from a mysterious correspondent. All the while, she was trying to solve a mystery. The device of wrapping intellectual lessons within a fictional narrative worked. It snapped up readers who might otherwise not pick up a 'serious' work about high ideas--and allowed philosophy to seep into pop culture and the hands of the masses.
