        The remarkable beauty of Mars is revealed in astonishing photos and inviting text that will expand assumptions and understanding of the Red Planet.

        Zonnestelselmodel (Solar System Scale Model) 1:100 billion (Dutch)

        The perfect tool to learn all about our Solar System

        by Rob Walrecht

        This unique product is both a scale model and concise encyclopaedia of the Solar System in one! It consists of sixteen information-packed cards (10x12 cm or 4x5 inch), all pertaining to the Sun, the planets, the Moon, asteroids, comets and the new class to which Pluto now belongs, the dwarf planets. These cards are a quick way to learn all there is to know about these objects, as well as being ideal for youngsters, papers and talks! Primarily, however, it is an exquisite scale model (scale 1:100 billion) of our fascinating Solar System, presenting the best possible representation of the distances within our Solar System as well as the unimaginable emptiness of the universe. In this scale model, the Sun is the size of a marble (14 mm), Jupiter, which is at 8 m/26 ft from the Sun, as large as a plastic pin-head, the Earth (at 1.5 m/5 ft) as large a  grain of coarse sand, Mars (at 2.3 m/7.5 ft) as large a grain of fine sand and Pluto, which would now be at 47 m/155 ft from the Sun, as large as a dust particle... The scale model, when completely placed, is 64 m (210 ft) long. The closest next star is at 400 km (250 miles) from the Sun! The cards show the sizes of the Heavenly bodies at scale, as well as these sizes one hundred times ‘enlarged’, for better comparison of the members of our Solar System. Special standards to place them are included and the cards contain holes to be hung on the wall or from sticks. Available are an English version (with metric units), a US version (with inches, miles, Fahrenheit etc.) and a Dutch version.

        ISS International Space Station

        by David Jefferis

        ISS is an in-depth look at the International Space Station. A project supported by 16 countries, the ISS was inaugurated in 1998 with the launch of the Russian-built control module Zarya. The finished station, a vast orbiting laboratory, will be the largest man-made object built in space and will be manned by a crew of up to seven. Sebastian Quigley’s state-of-the-art computer-generated artwork takes you into the ISS as it will be, exploring the workings of the station and the various modules that make it up. You will learn about the daily life of the crew, their work and leisure, and how the station is provided with supplies and new parts and serviced and repaired – and how the US Space Shuttle delivers major components to the ISS. Dangers and emergencies are also covered. A feature of the book is a spectacular fold-out of the ISS, with a key to all its working parts and modules. The book will reflect the importance of the ISS in future scientific research as well as in further space exploration.
