Mark Brake writes for the many, not the few. He is an award-winning writer of popular science books that look at the links between science, history, and culture. Mark has done science communication work in film, television, print, and radio on five continents. He has communicated science for NASA, Seattle's Science Fiction Museum, the BBC, the Royal Institution, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Nature, the British Council, and the National Science Museum of Thailand. Mark is perhaps best known for his work in popularising the relationship between space, science and culture. Mark's books include a series of 'Science of' books ('Star Wars', 'Harry Potter', and 'Superheroes'), those written about the relationship between science and fiction ('Different Engines' and 'FutureWorld'), those communicating science for a younger public ('The Big Earth Book', 'Space Hoppers', 'Really, Really Big Questions about Space and Time', 'The Alien Hunters Handbook' and 'How To Be A Space Explorer'), and two rather more academic works ('Revolution in Science: How Galileo and Darwin Changed our World' and 'Introducing Science Communication'). Mark's book with Cambridge University Press, 'Alien Life Imagined: Communicating the Science and Culture of Astrobiology', was published in November 2012. Since 2016, Mark has worked with Skyhorse Publishing in Manhattan on his series of 'Science of' books, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, and James Bond. Mark’s books have been translated into over a dozen languages, including Dutch, German, Chinese, Croatian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish (Mexico), Turkish, Czech, Slovak, Russian, and Polish.
