From her adventures training for Mars to testing spacesuits in microgravity, this unique handbook provides inspiration and guidance for aspiring astronauts everywhere. Look inside for answers to questions like:    Will there be beer on Mars?  Why do I need to do one-handed pushups in microgravity?  How can I possibly lose a fortune in outer space?    Praise for Not Necessarily Rocket Science  “Blasts readers onto a rocket-fueled journey through space and time, the perfect primer for the next space age.”―Zara Stone, author of The Future of Science is Female “Kellie is probably one of the best ambassadors for spaceflight in the 21st century that the industry could have.”―Lucy Hawking, author of George’s Secret Key to the Universe and host of Audible’s Lucy in the Sky. “Unique and compelling…will appeal to anyone whose dreams are larger than the limitations others try to wrap them in. Gerardi is informed, inspiring, and full of humanity, as she takes readers on a personal journey into what it means to be a fully signed-up member of the space age. A must-read for space-dreamers everywhere!”―Andrew Maynard, Author of Future Rising “Space may seem like a pretty intimidating place, open only to fighter pilots or brilliant engineers. But if humans are to ever settle worlds beyond Earth, it will take all kinds to make a society. That's where Not Necessarily Rocket Science comes in―a book that makes space accessible and fun, while showing readers where the front door is…. Kellie Gerardi deftly offers a sampling of the possible careers in space while helping those who are intrigued find their own pathway. Space needs more engineers, sure. But as Gerardi ably writes, it needs poets too.”―Eric Berger, senior space editor at Ars Technica

    When Tina Basich grabbed her rented snowboard and headed to the mountains in Lake Tahoe, snowboarding wasn't even considered a sport . . . yet. It was the beginning, and could have easily gone the way of many other sports and become dominated by male-driven competition.But not with Tina on the scene . . . Comments like "You're pretty good . . . for a girl" only pushed her harder to be the best and to prove she was more than just a token player on the slopes. Representing for women everywhere, she became a snowboarding all-star, started her own signature board and clothing lines for women, founded Boarding for Breast Cancer, and followed her heart, which led her on the adventure of a lifetime.This is her story.

But Tina has one more thing up her sleeve to shake up Lottie's life - she must say yes to everything Tina suggests, no matter what.Praise for Madeleine Reiss's previous work:'Gorgeous and Emotional' Fern Britton'I found it deeply moving and couldn't stop reading' Susan Lewis'An emotional, romantic and gentle read about love and family; I'm glad I got the chance to be introduced to author Madeleine Reiss' A Spoonful of Happy Endings

    Shortlisted for the Edward Stanford Travel Book of the Year 2025A Financial Times best summer travel book of 2024 
    'A powerfully delicate book of love, loss and discovery, along paths of emotional understanding and physical wonder.' Raynor Winn 
    On an assignment to walk the most famous pilgrimage in the world – the Camino de Santiago, in northern Spain – Phoebe Smith somehow lost her way. 
    Having spent a lifetime exploring unfamiliar places, she quit her dream job, ended her long-term relationship and headed home to North Wales to discover the point to… everything. 
    In her search for answers she found herself – quite by accident – walking some of Britain’s oldest pilgrim paths. And by following these old ways, she ended up confronting past traumas that she thought she had laid to rest. 
    But while it follows holy trails, this is not a book about religion. From losing her mother as a teenager to surviving toxic relationships, Phoebe offers an unflinchingly honest look at her battle with an eating disorder, depression, and the pitfalls of newfound singledom. 
    Skilfully weaving together Phoebe’s own story with those of countless travellers past and present, Wayfarer reveals how nature and place can heal past wounds, offering a pathway to salvation she’d never thought existed. 
    Phoebe Smith's Wayfarer is a best-selling autobiography that takes readers on her personal journey through Europe's ancient pilgrim paths. Her memoirs, filled with essays of her travels, reveal the healing power of nature and place, making this book a must-read for those interested in travelogues and personal transformation. 
    For fans of Stephen Neale (The England Coast Path 2nd edition), Raynor Winn (Landlines), Daniel Start (Wild Guide Lake District and Yorkshire Dales), Steve Long (Hillwalking), and Neil Wilson (Lonely Planet Prague & the Czech Republic).
