From things that fall from the sky (great green globs!) to the birth of the moon, exploding stars, wooden spaceships, life in deep space, this bird's eye view of the universe takes us all the way to the end of the solar system and back again.
Dr Karl is one of the most dynamic and enthusiastic popular scientists in Australia.
His adult titles are anecdotal, fascinating and informative.
His quirky and contagiously accessible take on science and the amazing world around us is now available for children aged 8 years and over.
The first title, Dinosaurs Aren't Dead, exposes an amazing truth:while practically all of the many species of dinosaurs died out spectacularly 65 million years ago one species did survive, and still lives today the birds.
The book will be highly illustrated with lots of black and white cartoons to explain the Big Bang theory, shifting Tectonic plates and dinosaur evolution.

He is the author of over 16 books, including Latest Great Moments in Science, Bizarre Moments in Science, Sensational Moments in Science and Absolutely Fabulous Moments in Science. Great Australian Facts & Firsts, a series of three children's titles, was published by HarperCollins in August this year.
He spreads the Word of Science on radio Triple J each Thursday at 11am and makes four hours of science reports for ABC radio each week. Karl is also currently featured as the principal personality in the second series of SBS-TV's popular '2nd Opinion' prime time infotainment show.
In his spare time (which he doesn't have enough of), Karl enjoys four-wheel driving through the outback every year and he and his family next want to experience both the Midnight Sun (24 hours of sunlight), and the Midday Night (24 hours of darkness).
