EXPLORE THE UNIVERSE IN DR. SEUSS-STYLE RHYME Ladies and gents, listen up if you please! Let's hop in a rocket and zoom past the trees. We'll check out the Moon and black holes; we adore 'em! Of course, we'll find planets and stars and explore 'em Determine just how old our Universe is. And please, don't you worry. There won't be a quiz! Astronomer Sean Raymond wraps space facts in poetry, explaining complex topics in playful prose. Drawings by Owen Raymond illustrate how our Universe works, from the phases of the Moon to "spaghettification." Eleven astronomical poems cover topics ranging from telescopes to black holes, from galaxies to the search for extra-terrestrial life, from the Big Bang to the planets. PRAISE FOR BLACK HOLES, STARS, EARTH AND MARS This book (with its wacky poems and Dr. Seuss-like rhymes) appeals both to adults' inner child, and to the curious natural scientist in all our children. The illustrations by a 12-year old artist convey a reassuring sense of "I got this!" -- Jill Tarter, Astronomer and pioneer of SETI (the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) This delightful book is a gentle reminder of the better things in life, and science. With echoes of Dr Seuss and the skilled crafting of Edward Lear, Raymond and Raymond create a world well worth losing yourself in, all the while telling a story about the frontiers of our understanding of the universe. An absolute pleasure. -- Caleb Scharf, Director of Astrobiology at Columbia University and author of The Copernicus Complex Cutting edge concepts dished out in poetry you'll want to be reading in striped pyjamas, Raymond presents clear explanations of the biggest concepts in astronomy today in a form guaranteed to intrigue and delight both scientists and artists of all ages. -- Elizabeth Tasker, Astrophysicist, science communicator, and author of The Planet Factory Black Holes, Stars, Earth and Mars is like an Astronomy 101 textbook wrapped up in delightful Dr. Seuss style poetry. It's remarkably comprehensive and covers serious physics, but the easy rhymes make it simple to understand. I'd recommend it for kids learning about space, but also for any astronomy enthusiast! -- Gillian Rhodes, Astronomy/Art Fusion Show Host and Dancer/Choreographer

Forget about rockets to Mars – the future of space science lies with the search for exoplanets Twenty years ago, the search for planets outside the Solar System was the preserve of science-fiction writers. Now it's one of the fastest-growing fields in astronomy, with thousands of exoplanets discovered to date, and the number rising fast. These new-found worlds are more alien than anything in fiction. Planets larger than Jupiter with years lasting a week; others with two suns lighting their skies, or with no sun at all. Planets with diamond mantles supporting oceans of tar; possible Earth-sized worlds with split hemispheres of perpetual day and night; waterworlds drowning under global oceans and volcanic lava planets awash with seas of magma. The discovery of this diversity is just the beginning. There is a whole galaxy of possibilities. The Planet Factory tells the story of these exoplanets. What can we learn about these faraway surface environments and planetary atmospheres? And do the results hint at the tantalising possibility of alien life?

'The Planetary Ennead' is a group of nine poems, penned in homage to our solar family of planets, including our own home planet of Earth and the dwarf planet, Pluto. Written by poet, Sam Bartle, the poems deal with each of the planets in turn, comprising Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the affectionate inclusion of Pluto (despite it no longer being classified as a technical 'planet'). Anyone who shares a fascination with the stars, space, astronomy, and the wider Cosmos, will enjoy the author's poetic interpretations of our solar neighbourhood within this collection. (The publication of this second edition was prompted by the revelation of Neptune's true colour on 5th February 2024, which confirmed that it is actually an extremely pale shade of blue. As a result, both the poem and image for Neptune have been updated).

These are the greatest Earth poems of the Early 21st Century as determined by The League. The most obscure fictional critics who have appeared in the pages of the Great Space Alien Novels of yore have, in their machinations, also lent tacit-ephemeral, imaginary praise to this magnificent tome of verse. Alice says strat-tea-tackfully, every poem must have a pie thrown at it to lend it color and flavor, but there are rumbles in the world where every blade of grass cries, and as we run through it, it tries to comb the hair of our sorrows. By the Poet Laureate of the Primitive Planets, (Milky Way Division), Category 15297xt7388. Recommended study manual for the curriculum of the Backward-Planet-Studies Department of the League of Benevolent Galaxies.

The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.
