Back Cover Praise for Neil deGrasse Tysons #1 New York Times best-selling guide to the cosmos, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry "Grappling with the scope of the universe...is no simple endeavor, but in this tidy overview, Tyson succeeds with seeming effortlessness." -San Francisco Chronicle "With wry humor, keen vision, and abundant humanity, Neil deGrasse Tyson distills the big questions of space, time, and reality into short, insightful chapters." -Discover "A winner that every astronomy enthusiast should have on the bookshelf!" -David J. Eicher, Astronomy "Lovely book. Last chapter worthy of Carl Sagan himself." -Richard Dawkins "Tyson breaks these big ideas into digestible lessons with the humor and charisma hes known and loved for." -Popular Mechanics "Tysons insights are valuable for any leader, teacher, scientist, or educator." -Forbes "A great gift for the scientifically inclined (but busy)." -Chicago Tribune "Vintage Tyson--engaging, chatty, and littered with historical and linguistic anecdotes." -Times Higher Education Author Biography Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist with the American Museum of Natural History and the New York Times best-selling author of Astrophysics for People in a Hurry. He lives in New York City. Gregory Mone is the co-author of four New York Times bestsellers. He lives in Massachusetts. Review "Tyson is admirably straightforward in his descriptions and doesnt lapse into being condescending or patronising and I especially like the way hes happy to say that there are things we just dont know and phenomena we dont understand." -- The Letterpress Project"The authors deliver an informative guide to modern astronomy, and most scientific terms or principles are adequately explained in easy-to-follow but not patronising language. There are useful discussions on topics such as Big Bang cosmology, relativity, extraterrestrial life, dark matter, dark energy and black holes." -- BBC Sky at Night Details ISBN0393356507 Year 2019 ISBN-10 0393356507 ISBN-13 9780393356502 Format Paperback Imprint WW Norton & Co Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY 523.01 Language English Pages 176 Publication Date 2019-03-22 UK Release Date 2019-03-22 NZ Release Date 2019-03-22 US Release Date 2019-03-22 Illustrations 40 color illustrations Author Neil deGrasse Tyson Audience Age 10-14 Publisher WW Norton & Co Alternative 9781324003281 Audience Children / Juvenile AU Release Date 2019-03-07 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
