About this product

Product Information

Over a year on the New York Times bestseller list and more than a million copies sold. 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 best-selling 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 tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day. 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 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.

    Mind blowing stuff!

    I have read it over and over. Mind blowing stuff. The author has an easy style that makes Astrophysics a joy. My mind has been sucked into a black hole that’s a new dimension for my brain.

  • Astrophysics

    Good book for those new to the subject. Engagingly written and entertaining. Enjoyed it a lot except for the last chapter in which the author wrings his hands over the fact that not everyone has the financial means and opportunity to study astrophysics as he has done- out of place and a bit goofy.

  • Astrophysics for everyone: A Review

    The book makes studying astrophysics very interesting. Its like we are learning face to face with an expert in a friendly manner and we come to know about amazing concepts about universe. Just little basic knowledge is required to understand the book.

  • Astronomy in a nutshell to evoke interest for deeper study

    Love the author, love the topic so it couldn't go wrong. Perfect to those interested in astronomy and astrophysics on a base level. Pretty cover too.

  • Decent explanation of physics

    I took AP physics in high school and I am now 48 and wanted a refresher. It is a great explanation of what you may question. It does not go into great depth of each issue but if you have more questions on a subject you can always look it up at a different time. But it is an easy read.
