        by Hubert Reeves

        “Grandpa, how big is the universe? How far are the stars? How can we tell the sun’s age? Are we stardust? What is thunder? Is the universe expanding? Do black holes exist? What is the future of the universe?”“The book was born from conversations I had with one of my granddaughters, on certain summer evenings. All during its writing, I was able to relive those August evenings when the children showered me with questions while we awaited the shooting stars. The contemplation of the heavenly vault and the sense of our presence among the stars inspired a shared wish to know more about this mysterious cosmos in which we live. Here we will be talking about science, but that in no way rules out poetry.”Hubert ReevesIn this book, master astrophysicist Hubert Reeves unlocks the secrets of the universe. This is his spiritual testament to younger generations and a perfect occasion for us all to revise our conceptions about the cosmos.

        The Olyphants Are Cut Up

        by Joe Evans

        Sam Olyphant is a big man: gargantuan, strong, heavily muscled. His older brother Alex is even bigger. They’re both handsome, successful and think they have absolute control of their lives. But as children of alcoholic parents who abandoned them to be brought up in care homes, they remember intensely having no control at all. Now in their early thirties they are compulsive bodybuilders; Alex is hiding a secret addiction; and Sam desperately searches for love that has always eluded him. When Sam is involved in an accident, events overwhelm him and he's forced to reassess the true meaning of family, and finally confront what it means to love and be loved. The Olyphants are about to discover their self-control is fragile; their strengths really weaknesses. “A thoughtful window on life, muscle and the hunt for weightlessness. Just the idea cuts you up.”          DBC Pierre, Man Booker Prize winning author of Vernon God Little
