Take a voyage into space to explore the wonders of the galaxy and beyond.

With award-winning science writer Brian Clegg as your deep space guide, step on board the starship Endurance and marvel at the fascinating sights of deepest, darkest space.

Although our vessel is fictional, the phenomena you will visit, from the vast nebulae that are birthplaces of stars to stellar explosions in vast supernovas, creating the elements necessary for life - or from the planets of other solar systems to the unbelievably supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way - all reflect the best picture current science has to offer.

Accompanying Interstellar Tours is an online gallery with over fifty images and videos in full colour, each directly accessible from the page using QR codes.

It may never be possible to undertake a voyage through the stars for real. But with Interstellar Tours, you can enjoy the ultimate cruise across the Milky Way.

    Every system — natural or human — has a breaking point. Ice sheets collapse, forests burn, markets crash, societies fracture. Now, as the planet edges toward a cascade of irreversible shifts, humanity faces its own moment of balance. 
    In Tipping Points, Alex Southwick examines the fragile thresholds that define our age — from the melting Arctic permafrost to the strain on global food networks and the fraying bonds of political trust. Drawing on science, history, and on-the-ground reporting, Southwick reveals how these crises intertwine, amplifying one another into a single planetary reckoning. 
    Yet this is also a story of resilience. Across the world, communities, cities, and movements are learning to adapt — not by returning to the old normal, but by building something entirely new. 
    Sweeping in scope yet intimate in its insight, Tipping Points is a profound exploration of how climate chaos doesn’t just threaten civilization — it’s already redefining what civilization means.

    Sally Sierer Bethea was one of the first women in America to become a "riverkeeper"—a vocal defender of a specific waterway who holds polluters accountable. In Keeping the Chattahoochee, she tells stories that range from joyous and funny to frustrating—even alarming—to illustrate what it takes to save an endangered river. Her tales are triggered by the regular walks she takes through a forest to the Chattahoochee over the course of a year, finding solace and kinship in nature. 
     
     
     
    For two decades, Bethea worked to restore the neglected Chattahoochee, which provides drinking water and recreation to millions of people, habitat for wildlife, and water for industries and farms as it cuts through the heart of the Deep South. Pairing natural and political history with reflective writing, she draws listeners into her watershed and her memories. Bethea's passion for the natural world—and for defending it with a strong, informed voice animates this instructive memoir. Offering lessons on how to fight for our fundamental right to clean water, Bethea and her colleagues take on powerful corporate and government polluters. They strengthen environmental policies and educate children, reviving the great river from a century of misuse.
