About this product

Product Information

There's no better guide through mind-expanding questions such as what the nature of space and time is, how we fit within the universe, and how the universe fits within us than Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable any time and anywhere in the busy day. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry reveals just what you need 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.

Your cosmic journey
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 bookshelf. All that is left is to hence forth and acquire your copy, and along the way: may your journey be full of wonder and adventure.

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!
