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.
