About this product

Product Information

There's no better guide through mind-expanding questions such as what the nature of space and time is, how we fit within the universe, and how the universe fits within us than Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable any time and anywhere in the busy day. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry reveals just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

This is not a book
Ok, it is labelled as an e-book right at the end of the description, for those not savvy on the internet you will be duped into buying something you do not want. I'm sorry this unfortunate circumstance has happened, maybe clearer labelling will provide a solution. Thanks, enjoy my money. P.s what a price for an internet link, ridiculous.

Well worth buying.
I bought this as a gift for a teenager with an fairly advanced interest in astronomy and hopes of working in astrophysics . He read it, pronounced it a good book and passed it onto his brother. Who despite being younger , read it from cover to cover. I have no ldea of the content as l haven't read it myself but clearly it was well received by two teenage space enthusiasts!
