Universe Down to Earth
Categories: Science & Math
Neil deGrasse Tyson explains the basic ideas of astrophysics using examples and analogies drawn from everyday life. Tyson covers topics such as the scientific method, measurement, light, gravity, the motions of the planets, stars and galaxies and the expansion of the universe. He shows that the same physical laws that govern objects on Earth apply throughout the cosmos. The book was first published by Columbia University Press in 1994.
