Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Dark matter, gravity, the possibility of intergalactic travel, and the Big Bang Theory… Studying the secrets of the universe is like reading a gripping novel. But only if you understand physics well, know what lies behind all those complex terms and definitions.

In the trickiest questions of science, you’ll be helped by Neil deGrasse Tyson—one of the most authoritative and at the same time witty astrophysicists of our time. He has a special gift for explaining even the most complicated scientific theories clearly, interestingly, and with humor. Neil Tyson’s new book is another exciting journey into the world of modern science. You’ll learn about the latest discoveries, follow the birth of the universe second by second, get the newest data on dark matter and the origin of Earth. And you won’t need any special education to understand it—just a slightly forgotten school course and curiosity. Once you close the book, you’ll realize that astrophysics isn’t as difficult as it seemed! This is useful and entertaining reading for the whole family. Read it so you don’t fall behind scientific and technological progress.
