Inspire kids to ask the big questions about Earth and the cosmos with this stunningly illustrated version of Professor Stephen Hawking''s final message to humankind. We are all time travelers journeying together into the future. But let us work together to make that future a place we want to visit. Scientist and educator Stephen Hawking spent his life trying to unravel the mysteries of the universe. But, he still had many questions—and he wanted every reader, every child, to come together to help answer them: How can we save the planet? How can we learn to be there for one another?

ES HORA DE MIRAR HACIA FUERA, AL UNIVERSO ¿Cómo hubiera sido caminar por una Tierra cubierta de lava hace medio millón de años? ¿Te imaginas cómo sería estar cerca de un volcán a punto de entrar en erupción? ¿O de dar tu primer paso en la Luna? ¿Qué harías si los robots se hicieran con el control del planeta? Descifrar el universo es una interesante colección de ensayos llenos de información que Stephen y Lucy Hawking recopilaron juntos en un solo libro. Además, incluye contenido inédito sobre temas tan actuales como la genética, el multiverso, la ética de la Inteligencia Artificial o el problema del negacionismo científico. Esta edición bellamente ilustrada es la guía perfecta para conseguir entender el universo. «PODEMOS LLEGAR CON AUDACIA HASTA DONDE NADIE HA LLEGADO ANTES. ¿QUIÉN SABE LO QUE ENCONTRAREMOS Y A QUIÉN CONOCEREMOS?». STEPHEN HAWKING Descifrar el universo es una colección de ensayos fantásticos llenos de información que reunimos juntos en un solo libro, que incluye, además, contenido inédito fabuloso sobre temas que siempre me habían interesado, como la genética, el multiverso y un nuevo texto sobre agujeros negros. Nuestras nuevas incorporaciones también hablan de la ética de la Inteligencia Artificial (IA) y el problema del negacionismo científico, y nuestro fichaje más joven se encarga de explicarnos el cambio climático. El día en el que a mi padre y a mí se nos ocurrió escribir la historia de un niño que cae en un agujero negro parece ya muy lejano; el primer libro que creamos juntos surgió a partir de una pregunta que le hicieron a mi padre en una fiesta de cumpleaños. Esa pregunta nos lanzó a la misión de escribir todo un libro para responderla. Creo que podemos afirmar con la mano en el corazón que, cuando haces una pregunta, nunca sabes lo que puede pasar.

Now she can finally give up boring princess lessons and learn about real things, like volcanoes and the ocean and space! But Olivia is completely unprepared for the world that awaits her. Thick, dark clouds hang low over the city, and the rivers that she so longed to see are choked with rubbish. And on top of it all, the weather just feels wrong.

Olivia, horrified by what she sees, becomes determined to get to the bottom of Alez''s dangerous weather patterns. With the help of some new friends and armed with a scientific lab coat that would make Albert Einstein jealous, Olivia sets out to solve the mystery and save Alez from climate destruction before it''s too late . . .
