George’s Secret Key to the Universe, Lucy Hawkins and Stephen Hawking

on October 31, 2017

Play Pause Unmute Mute

Father and daughter team up in series, where science meets fiction. Beginning in 2007, this series is ongoing.

Hawking emphasises the great need for general scientific education “because the challenges we now face are global”. “The answers to our problems, whether they’re climate change, desertification or ocean pollution will be found in science and technology.”

–Business Live

Stephen Hawking, author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time, and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages.

Stephen Hawking, one of the most celebrated and honored modern physicists (as well as author of the multi-million copy bestselling A Brief History of Time), and his daughter Lucy explain the universe to readers of all ages. George's parents, who have always been wary of technology, warn him about their new neighbors: Eric is a scientist and his daughter, Annie, seems to be following in his footsteps. But when George befriends them and Cosmos, their super-computer, he finds himself on a wildly fun adventure, while learning about physics, time, and the universe. With Cosmos's help, he can travel to other planets and a black hole. But what would happen if the wrong people got their hands on Cosmos? George, Annie, and Eric aren't about to find out, and what ensues is a funny adventure that clearly explains the mysteries of science. Garry Parsons' energetic illustrations add humor and interest, and his scientific drawings add clarity; there are also eight 4-page full-color inserts of scientific photos.
