Press Release Body: Los Angeles, CA, October 22, 2008 -- A Relativity Birthday
Present is the first story in Dr. Robert G. Williscroft's captivating, educational
and beautifully illustrated Starman Jones series designed to give young readers an
intuitive grasp of esoteric scientific concepts like Relativity.

A Relativity Birthday Present teaches young readers about one of the amazing effects
of Relativity. Starman Jones and Spacepup are anxious to take Baby Billy on their
adventurous trips from star to star in their starship, Willywinder. Billy,
unfortunately, is too young, so Starman Jones devises a trip to the star Alpha
Centauri. During the journey he and Spacepup will travel so fast that time slows
down for them on Willywinder, while time progresses normally back on Earth for Baby
Billy. Ultimately, Starman Jones and Spacepup return to Earth nine years later on
Billy's ninth birthday, but they have hardly aged at all. Billy has caught up with
them, and can now accompany them on future star trips. It is the best birthday
present Billy has ever had - a relativity birthday present.

The Starman Jones series is endorsed by Dr. Frank Drake, Director of the Carl Sagan
Center for the Study of Life in the Universe, and of the SETI Institute (Search for
Extra Terrestrial Intelligence), and he wrote the introductions for parents and
kids.

According to Dr. Drake, "This is an ingenious experiment that worked for Dr.
Williscroft's own son. I genuinely hope that it works for your child, too, and that
each new story in this series will enrich your child as much as they did his son. In
fact, I sincerely hope that this experiment will prove to be very successful for all
children!"

This full-color children's picture book published by Starman Press, is available at
www.starmanjones.com, from other online outlets, and in bookstores by special order.
