Reviews for A Day in the Life of an Astronaut, Mars and the Distant Stars: Space as You´ve Never Seen it Before
BBC Sky at Night Magazine
It takes just 120 pages of humorous text and idiosyncratic cartoons to deliver a decent summary of our knowledge about space and the technology we use to investigate it. The science is comprehensive, sound and I learnt something new on every page… Barfield does not skip the difficult subjects (dark matter, speed of light) but gives us plenty of light-hearted detail as well: burps in space are quite the problem apparently!
