Children's Books: Hawking's fact and fiction
George F.R.Ellis & Ruby
BOOK REVIEWED-George's Secret Key to the Universe
by Lucy & Stephen Hawking
Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time was a huge commercial success.Its achievements in bringing difficult scientific ideas to a wide audience are not so clear.Now the distinguished physicist has teamed up with his daughter Lucy to produce a children's book designed to communicate contemporary physics.Will it capture the attention of young minds and teach them some real science? Or will it be boring and over the heads of the prospective readers?
George's Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings.It involves a lost pig, a humorously portrayed intelligent computer, school bullies and a trip through the Solar System.Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics, such as supernova explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up.There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy, and some photographs of astronomical phenomena: planets, comets, galaxies and so on.Overall, the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics, within a science-fiction adventure story.
