Astrophysics for People in a Hurry (10th Anniversary Edition)

By: Unknown Author

With more than two million copies of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry sold, Neil deGrasse became a number-one best-selling author--an especially rare distinction for a scientist. The book spent more than one hundred weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. In dazzling, digestible chapters, Tyson guides us through the mind-expanding questions of the cosmos: What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? America's favorite astrophysicist brings the universe down to earth succinctly and clearly, in an age when few of us have time to contemplate outer space. While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will equip you to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.
