Adopted as the official book of the International Year of Astronomy (IYA) 2009, this stunningly illustrated history of telescopic discovery spans the range from the first telescopes via the Hubble Space Telescope to next generation platforms, and how they have changed and continue to change our view of the universe, our place in it and where it all came from. "Eyes on the Skies" features numerous full-page photographs and is printed in high-quality color throughout.

Also includes the official IYA DVD with 59 minutes of narrated text, expert comments and interviews, animations, computer simulations, science results, plus footage from observatories.

Award-winning black comedy co-written by and starring Aki Kaurismaki and directed by his brother Mika. Ville Alfa (Kaurismaki) is a hyperactive, would-be intellectual who can't stop making things up. His fabrications have worked for him so far - he's seduced girls and borrowed large sums of money from friends, family and total strangers. But when this pathological compulsion leads him to lie about the death of his brother, it's a fib too far. Will the young rogue ever be able to curb his deceitful tongue?
