Eicher, Astronomy "Lovely book.

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.
