Beschreibung
In 6 volumes which are complementary and interrelated, using humorous and exciting adventures in the universe, the latest scientifically proven findings are shown to encourage young readers and readers who are young at heart to become enthusiastic about a world which, thanks to scientific progress, has become more recognisable in many ways. The creation and dying of stars and black holes and their collisions described in volume 4 definitely has a fascinating effect on teenagers to the same extent as the appearance of supernova and quasars in connection with the time space problematic and the theory of relativity. Even the critical reference to evolution and the mostly cruel and stubborn "world of humans" are probably not particularly disconcerting to young readers, on the contrary they are more likely to be comprehensible and exciting.
Autorenportrait
Durch meine berufliche Tätigkeit weiß ich, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler besonders für Lernbereiche, die an Grenzen unseres Weltverständnisses stoßen, zu interessieren und zu innovativem Mitdenken zu bewegen sind; diese müssen nur humorvoll und leicht verständlich vorgetragen werden. In bewusst eher kindlich-naiven, jedoch möglichst spannend erzählten Geschichten werden hier viele neue wissenschaftlich nachvollziehbare Erkenntnisse in Form einer Art lustiger Kinder-Lehrbücher eingeblendet, ohne dass diese jedoch als "Lehrbücher" empfunden bzw. erkannt werden. Auf diese Weise sollen junge Leser spielerisch für eine Welt begeistert werden, die dank wissenschaftlichen Fortschrittes für uns alle in vielerlei Hinsicht erkennbarer geworden ist. Das Aufschließen neuer Türen ist essentiell und das Wissen über Zusammenhänge, insbesondere auf dem Gebiete der Naturwissenschaften, wird zunehmend komplexer und anspruchsvoller. Demzufolge kann man wohl nicht früh genug damit anfangen, Kindern bzw. Jugendlichen einen Einblick in diese Welten zu verschaffen. Due to her professional activities the author knows that school children can be particularly motivated towards becoming interested in and providing innovative thoughts on areas of learning which reach the limits of our understanding of the world: all you have to do in a humorous and easily comprehensible manner. In purposely childlike and naive stories always told in an exciting way, many new scientifically proven discoveries are presented as amusing children's reference books without them being recognized or regarded as such. In this manner young readers will playfully be inspired by a world, which thanks to scientific progress, has become more recognizable for us in many ways. Opening new doors is necessary and knowledge of the relationships, especially in the field of science, is becoming increasingly more complexe and demanding. Consequently, you cannot begin early enough to allow children a glimps into these worlds.
