The colourful illustrated covers show light rubbing and scuffing, edge wear, and minor creasing at corners and spine ends (fully visible in the listing photos). The spine is square, tight, and uncreased with clear lettering. Internally all 120 pages are clean, small name inscriptions, (L.Graham)on the front endpapers, but no highlighting, no library stamps or stickers. Binding is strong and all pages are secure. Natural light age-toning to the paper edges is present but does not affect readability. No major defects, tears, or stains. Book One in Russell Stannard’s hugely popular “Uncle Albert” series. Famous (and rather eccentric) scientist Uncle Albert and his intrepid niece Gedanken enter the dangerous and unknown world of the “thought bubble”. Their mission: to unlock the deep mysteries of time and space. Discover why you can’t break the ultimate speed barrier, how to become older than your mother, how to put on weight without getting fat, and how to live forever without even knowing it – all explained through fun adventures that make real physics accessible. Russell Stannard (1931–2022) was a British high-energy physicist, Professor at the Open University, and OBE recipient for services to the public understanding of science. Illustrated throughout with the original lively, space-themed artwork by John Levers. Perfect for: collectors of the Uncle Albert series, home educators, fans of children’s science books, or anyone wanting an engaging way to introduce relativity to readers aged 8–12. A charming and educational British children’s classic from the early 1990s.…
