[edit] 'Equinox'
A Channel 4 tie-in, Equinox is respected for its exploration of science and ground-breaking discoveries. This volume opens with an introduction to space, paying particular attention to the relationship between humans and the universe around them. Following this are six chapters, based on individual programmes including Moon Dreams and Space Junk.
Jack Challoner considers the latest scientific thinking about space and its implications for all our futures. Who is monitoring the huge amount of human junk now orbiting the Earth? What can we learn from predicting the 'weather' in space? What is the commercial value of the universe? How old is it? Are wormholes the key to travel in time and space? Jack Challoner describes the findings of Channel 4's highly successful series Equinox and looks into the programme's findings to investigate the subject further. This is an excellent introduction to a vast area of scientific exploration in which the big questions have only recently begun to be answered.
