    Another easy and hassle free transaction with WOB. I am more than pleased with the DVD boxset that I received. All the discs look brand new and the quality of the box was exactly as described. Bid with confidence when buying from these guys as even in the unlikely event there may be a problem, they are all over it and do their best for the customer. WOB has my vote every time. Thank you.

    If you have a passion for astrophysics or Just starting out, this book is a fantastic addition to your arsenal. It reads as smooth as a neutron star’s surface and is packed full of easy-to-understand physics terms and ideas that will blow your mind away, like a grammatical supernova. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the perfect author and has done an exquisite job of condensing the huge world of astrophysics into a fantastic, readable book. From the start you can feel Tyson has put his carbon based heart and 4th dimensional soul into this work. From chapter one to the final pages, the voice of the New York God will echo through your head as you discover your origins and potential future. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry is an outstanding creation and definitely deserves a special place on anyone’s ...

    This is not a book

    Ok, it is labelled as an e-book right at the end of the description, for those not savvy on the internet you will be duped into buying something you do not want. I'm sorry this unfortunate circumstance has happened, maybe clearer labelling will provide a solution. Thanks, enjoy my money. P.s what a price for an internet link, ridiculous.

  • Well worth buying.

    I bought this as a gift for a teenager with an fairly advanced interest in astronomy and hopes of working in astrophysics . He read it, pronounced it a good book and passed it onto his brother. Who despite being younger , read it from cover to cover. I have no ldea of the content as l haven't read it myself but clearly it was well received by two teenage space enthusiasts!
