_________________________ *The OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD puzzle book, as
featured in the Times, Daily Telegraph, BBC Radio 4, and BBC
Breakfast, and a Guardian Book of the Year pick. Have YOU got what
it takes to be an astronaut? This book will help readers of all
ages find out. Featuring 100 real astronaut tests and exercises
from the European Space Agency's rigorous selection process,
ranging from easy to fiendishly hard, The Astronaut Selection Test
Book goes where no puzzle book has gone before. Including puzzles
and tests on: * visual perception and logic * mental arithmetic and
concentration * psychological readiness * teamwork and leadership *
survival, physical and medical skills * foreign languages (every
astronaut has to know Russian!) and much more, this richly
illustrated book draws on Tim Peake's first-hand experience of
applying to be an astronaut in 2008, when he and five others were
chosen - out of over 8,000 applications! We've all dreamed of being
an astronaut, though of the estimated 100 billion people who have
ever lived, only 557 people have travelled to space. But with this
unprecedented look into real astronaut selection, you might just
find out your dreams can become reality...
_________________________ HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM SOLVER... Tim
Peake and the ESA will receive no royalties from this book;
instead, they will be donated to the Prince's Trust charity.
_________________________ 'Engrossing... a brain buster of a
book... You'll learn plenty about space and what it takes to be an
astronaut, but you'll also sharpen up your broader knowledge. For
anyone interested in the space race and the imminent journey to
Mars, here's the perfect stocking filler.' - STARBURST 'It's a
brain work-out on steroids, stuffed with authentic selection
tests... Entertaining and engaging... innovative, earnest, soulful
and exhilarating' - BBC SKY AT NIGHT MAGAZINE (5 STARS, Book of the
Month) 'It's such a good idea... this is a very good thing for
Christmas Day' - GRAHAM NORTON, BBC RADIO 2 'Everybody, get this
book... it's a fascinating read' - CHRIS MOYLES, RADIO X 'A
fantastic gift... more than just a quiz' - WI LIFE 'The perfect
[book] for big thinkers' - BBC ARTS, 2018's Biggest Books
