Summary: "Welcome, fellow humans (and others), to the world of Fun Science! I'm Charlie, also known across the Internet as charlieissocoollike. In my book I'll be taking you on an awesome journey through the cosmos, beginning with the big bang through to the solar system and the origins of life on Earth, all the way down to the particles that make up everything around us (including you and me!). Expect frequent digressions into not-so-sciencey things (e.g., a microwave flying through space) and audio packed with my all-time favourite mind-bending science facts. So, get ready for a faster-than-the-speed-of-light (okay, not quite) tour of all of the best and most interesting things that science has to offer us...and, most importantly, welcome to the universe! (Written by a science fan, not a scientist!)" --Provided by the publisher
