What could be better than a master computer programmer and quantum device physics expert sharing a
love of science with children? Add a character as lovable as Professor Astro Cat and nothing could be
more fun. Dr. Dominic Walliman’s internationally bestselling series is a delightfully quirky, informative
way to introduce children to big ideas and even bigger possibilities. With eye-catching retro illustrations
and Professor Astro Cat at the helm, Dr. Walliman describes the workings of some of mankind’s most
ambitious projects—astronauts, rockets, space stations, and satellites—in a way that any child (or even
adult) can understand.
