Now, to space!’ – Hannah Fry ‘Few people are more knowledgeable, celebratory and witty about space travel than Dallas Campbell.’ – Adam Rutherford Need some space? For almost all human history we’ve been firmly rooted to the Earth. And, sure, it's got some good things going for it: nice views, friendly inhabitants, good coffee. Air.

Whether you've got itchy feet and need a bit of a break, or you’re looking for a complete change of scene, this book has all the information you'll need to leave, with FREE expert advice from the men and woman who can actually make it happen.

As well as being a deeply impractical guide to getting off the planet, this is an eclectic and beautifully illustrated mix-tape of space travel stories – both real and imagined. From the migrating lunar geese that flew us to the moon in the 1600’s, to Elon Musk’s wild plan to get humans to Mars en masse in the future; from the history of early rocket science to the Soviet tortoises that secretly won the space race.

And then wondered how to get there. ‘The next best thing to actually heading off into space.’ – Jim Al-Khalili ‘Few people are more knowledgeable, celebratory and witty about space travel than Dallas Campbell.’ – Adam Rutherford ‘If, like me, you dream of going into space, this is definitely the place to start the journey.’ – Dan Snow ‘A must have volume for astronauts and armchair astronauts alike.’ – Helen Sharman OBE ‘Funny, factual and beautiful.’ – Shaun Keavney ‘Read it, make notes, and be ready when the day comes.’ – Helen Czerski

Who am I? Why am I here? To discover, through awakening, your unlimited potential and the extraordinarily divine life you are meant to live. Like most people, Pauline Raphaela had a plan for the fulfillment of her life, until a mystical presence began to steer her in an unusual, yet exciting direction. In The Little Blue Room, Pauline invites you into her own sacred journey of awakening. Amidst crises, illness, revelation and surrender, distinguishing the shadow-self from the authentic Soul, Pauline discovers her truth. She shares mystical experiences, revealing how we are guided to our Soul’s destiny, when we are courageous enough to follow. Pauline gently mentors how to deeply heal your life, including ancestral patterns, to awaken your innate greatness. The courage to awaken to your truth, to Soul love, joy, freedom and power, is already within you. “Well-written and inspiring . . . a must-read for anyone who wishes to awaken their Soul—more than a memoir, more than a self-help book. Pauline is an exuberant storyteller, who takes you on a spiritual journey that will transform your life.” — Cindi Sansone-Braff, The Romance Whisperer, author of Grant Me a Higher Love and other titles. “Drawing from dramatic episodes and compelling insights in her life, Pauline shows how the Soul tries to awaken at critical times. What we need now is not a minor repair, but a major transformation of the world that can only start with the awakening of the individual Soul.” — Lynn Van Praagh-Gratton author of Divine Dimes and other titles.

Palmistry is the cryptic code of life. A soul takes birth with his/her manual of destiny written on the hand. What an intriguing thought! Though we do not remember our past births, probably due to karmic amnesia, our brains store this information, in addition to the blueprint of our present lives. According to proven scientific theory, nerves carry messages from the brain to the hands. Palmistry believes that the nerves also carry the cryptic code of our destiny from the brain to the hands. Palmistry can trace its roots back to ancient India. The first section of this volume tells us how to interpret lines and signs on the palm using Hindu palmistry. Some of the ancient signs that are included here, appear for the first time in any book published on the subject. The second section is devoted to outlining the destiny paths of the rich and famous: Barrack obama, Vladmir Putin, Albert Einstein, Sonia Gandhi, Michael Jackson, Prince Charles, Nicole Kidman, Benazir Bhutto and Hillary Clinton. This book includes spiritual messages to help us understand the larger picture and move towards peace and happiness in the journey of life.
