  Spaced Out is designed to give a brief overview on all of the subjects that pertain to astronomy and space sciences in a down-to-Earth way.  
  It is inspired by current space news and the most asked questions from popular science communicator Kalpana Pot’s online audience.  
  The subjects covered include our solar system, stars, galaxies, exoplanets, telescopes, spacetime, interstellar objects, relativity, quantum mechanics, debunking conspiracies, and the unknown.  
  Each page covers one specific concept that fits into the above categories. This gives the readers a general take on rather complex topics.  
  Readers are further encouraged to do their own deep-dive on the topics that interest them the most. 
  The more we learn about the Universe, the more we realize how much we don’t know. Discoveries that challenge what we once thought we knew happen all the time. This book is accurate for the time of the writing, but things can always change, and that’s what’s most exciting about science in general!  
  Space is for everyone. You’re never too old, too young, too uneducated, or even too busy to slow down and ponder the final frontier.

  Discover the secret method used to build the world . . . 
   
   
   
  For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of—let alone understand—but that influences every aspect of our lives.

  Shark: Why we need to save the...

  From shark attack survivor to the shark’s biggest advocate, Paul de Gelder tells us just why these majestic diverse animals need our help as much as we need them. 
  Something happens to you the first time you dive with sharks… 
  We have a perennial fascination with sharks. Portrayed in the media and popular culture as killing machines, we are awed by their power and strength. But the shark is so much more – a marvel of the sea, they have evolved over 450 million years into over 500 species, from the bioluminescent kitefin to the tiny dwarf lantern shark, the sociable lemon shark to the cow shark, which can birth up to 100 pups in one litter. Bringing balance to the ocean’s ecosystem, our planet is at serious risk when these amazing creatures are threatened. 
  Paul de Gelder, who lost two limbs in a shark attack during a mission as an elite Australian navy clearance diver, spent time as part of his recovery learning all about sharks. He became so obsessed that, despite what happened to him, he is now an expert and has dedicated his life to helping save them. Shark is his love-letter to these unfairly vilified animals, and his warning to the world about what will happen if we don’t look out for them. 
  In SHARK, Paul de Gelder, a shark attack survivor turned advocate, explores the intricate ecosystems of the seas and oceans. He emphasises the importance of marine conservation and the protection of the diverse habitats that these misunderstood creatures call home. 
  For fans of Daniel C. Abel (The Lives of Sharks), Helen Czerski (Blue Machine), Brian Skerry (Shark), David A. Ebert (Sharks of the World), and Lee Schofield (Wild Fell).
