Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a short introduction to the universe for readers who have little time to spare. In brief chapters, Tyson explains the big bang, the nature of matter and light, dark matter and dark energy, the planets and the search for life beyond Earth. He shows how the laws of physics apply everywhere in the cosmos and reflects on what a cosmic perspective means for life on Earth. Published in 2017, the book became a long-running bestseller.
