About the Author

Andrew Norton is a senior lecturer in physics and astronomy at the Open University in the U.K. He has a PhD in high energy astrophysics from the University of Leicester and carries out research on stars and planets. He lives in a small market town in north Buckinghamshire with his wife and three children, where the skies are sometimes dark enough to see the stars. His interest in planets around other stars was triggered as a child by the TV adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and his crew. He is amazed that recent discoveries seem to suggest that we may indeed live in a Star Trek universe.

My Magic World

By Viswan Rahasya, Illustrated by Amal

Join a little boy in a soulful exploration of the mysterious and extraordinary uniqueness of the planet he calls home. With simple, charming text coupled with beautiful watercolor illustrations, each page highlights a new aspect of Earth that makes life possible. From the gravity that keeps us grounded and the magnetic field that protects us to the air that nourishes us and the water that fills our bodies, the child raises questions about their mysterious nature and origins that still baffle scientists. Is there another planet turquoise blue and emerald green, spinning out there in the dark open space? He wonders. Will I some day find the answers?
