CREATED & ILLUSTRATED BY SIMON BASHER Basher Basics: Space Exploration
From moon buggies and space shuttles to studying the Bing Bang Theory– get to the edge of science
From Basher, the illustrator who showed the periodic table in a whole new light and gave us his fresh spin on physics, astronomy, planet Earth, chemistry and more, comes a book that shines its light into out-of-this-world beings who make the universe tick. Learn about the amazing research that is revolutionizing space exploration, from the pioneering space crafts and equipment known as 'Space Aces' that have been used to delve into deep-space exploration to the scientists known as 'The Outerplanetary Mob' that have not only taken voyages to space and back but have contributed to our understanding of the universe. Space Exploration is a compelling guide to developments at the very forefront of science – a must-read for anyone wishing to understand, and engage with, modern space.
Simon Basher is the creator and illustrator of dozens of best-selling concept books for children including The Periodic Table, Physics, Biology, and Astronomy. His characters bridge the gap between edgy Manga and the cuteness of Hello, Kitty! Basher's original artwork is regularly exhibited and sold in the UK, Europe, the US and Asia. Find out more at www.basherworld.com Dan Green has written many of the titles in the Basher Science series. He studied Geology at Cambridge University.
