_________________________ *The* puzzle book of 2018, 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...
_________________________ '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
