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.

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.

Not lightweight, but probably as lightweight as possible when pondering the wonders of our universe.
This book took all my concentration even though its title advertises it "for people in a hurry". There were pages dealing with the discoveries of astrophysics which were beyond my comprehension. Even so, the material is fascinating. Overwhelmingly fascinating. Like learning that "night and day, a hundred billion neutrinos from the Sun pass through each square inch of your body, every second, without a trace of interaction with your body's atoms". How about pondering the idea that infinity goes in both directions - outwards to the universe and inwards to the molecular. WHEW! WHAT? I am grateful Neil Tyson attempted to share these laws of science with us nonscientists. I highly recommend this book. I am on my second time through now.
