In an era where the best and most optimistic news comes from the field of natural sciences and space exploration, the history and nature of the universe are beginning to gain additional interest from the general public.
On the other hand, who has time today to think about space? The nature of space and time? The place of humanity within the universe? The place of the universe within us?
The great American astrophysicist and multiple bestselling author Neil deGrasse Tyson, the undisputed successor to Carl Sagan in the realm of popular science, brings the universe to our level: with skill, clarity, and humor, he wisely selects what is most essential for us to know, writing short, digestible chapters that can be read anywhere and anytime during the day. Whether you are waiting for your coffee, bus, subway, or plane, Astrophysics for Busy People – the No.1 bestselling book of the New York Times – reveals everything you need to stay ahead of developments: 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.
Astrophysics for Busy People is aimed at those who have not yet lost the ability to be captivated by knowledge and discovery.
What they said about the book: Tyson takes shockingly complex ideas, strips them down to the bone, dresses them with colorful allegories and jokes, and makes them absolutely accessible to the average reader. Salon
Enthusiastic, infectious, full of humor, and above all approachable... reading Astrophysics for Busy People is an exhilarating experience of awakening. BookPage
