Neil deGrasse Tyson
The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and bestselling author 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 anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
While waiting for your morning coffee to brew, or while waiting for the bus, the train, or the plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal 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.

If you liked this book and have an extra hour a week, I highly recommend Neil's StarTalk podcast. The podcast is co-hosted by a comedian and Neil usually has an interesting guest and takes questions submitted by listeners. Guests range from astronauts to fellow scientists to celebrities who are interested in science. The comedian hosts are usually either Leighann Lord, Chuck Nice, Maeve Higgins, or Eugene Mirman. They keep the show's tone light and funny.
If you liked this book and have twelve hours to kill, I highly recommend Neil's 2014 TV series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, which was a follow-up to Carl Sagan's Cosmos TV series. Must-see TV for science geeks.
