Space Maps Summary

Space Maps: Your Tour of the Universe by Lara Albanese

Are you ready to begin your journey through space? Then all you have to do is look up into the night sky. What can you see?

Marvel at the twinkling stars, and the constellations that they make. Learn about what different cultures call each shape and what the patterns means to them. Then get ready to venture farther - out into the solar system and past what the naked eye can see.

Hop from planet to planet and discover what makes Earth different, or similar, to its celestial neighbours. Marvel at the ways that humans have explored our solar system, and beyond, with space shuttles, rockets and probes. There is a whole wide universe out there, with secrets and mysteries to solve. Grab your telescope and get ready for the intergalactic journey of a lifetime!

Space Maps Reviews

This is a most impressive galactic guide. The size of this books demands attention - it is almost 28 x 38 cms and is appropriate to the subject matter. As a result, the double page spreads are almost like posters ... A superb volume that creates awe and wonder, informs and inspires.

-- Brenda Marshall * The English Association *

NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH: A visually awesome guide to the cosmos that will keep children in KS2 glued and wanting more. Accessible, yet detailed, this distinctive blend of history, human development, astronomy, and culture is a must for the KS2 school library and children interested in space.

-- Tom Tolkien * The School Reading List *

Space Maps is a beautifully constructed adventure through space. The large format, with many double-page spreads, allows for wonderfully clear and enticing illustrations. It is a visual feast of fabulous colours and inventive diagrams which explain complex scientific concepts with ease.

-- George McMahon * The School Librarian *

With fully accessible chunks of fun and fascinating facts from physicist and children's author Lara Albanese, and a gallery of Tommaso Vidus Rosin's eye-catching illustrations to marvel at, there is a whole wide universe out there with secrets and mysteries to solve so grab your telescope and head for the stars!
