The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.

What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and bestselling author 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 anytime and anywhere in your busy day.

While waiting for your morning coffee to brew, or while waiting for the bus, the train, or the plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal 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.

Even though it's hardcover, the book is pirated copy. Paper and print quality is poor.

This is very informative, intresting and useful for those who are curious to know about space. Very well and detail explanation of every single topic. I liked the part in which he explained about dark matter and dark energy.
You have no need to worry about the quality.

Our universe is an amazing ‘place’. It houses unimaginably large and strange objects. Since Galileo and Newton, we have come to know a lot about the universe. We have realised how insignificant our world is in comparison to the stellar objects it contains. At the same time, we have no clue about most things in the universe. Having a glimpse of what we know and what we don’t know can be a humbling experience at least and a mind-blowing one if you have a little more than a passing interest. In Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, Neil deGrasse Tyson has done a remarkable job at giving us that glimpse in a way everyone can understand.

The book starts at the big-bang. “In the beginning, nearly fourteen billion years ago, all the space and all the matter and all the energy of the known universe was contained in a volume less than one-trillionth the size of the period that ends this sentence.” It explains how the universe expanded and what it contains now. Mr. Tyson ensures that what we don’t understand in the cosmos—things like dark matter and dark energy—are as interesting as the things we do have some understanding about—like stars, black holes, asteroids, planets, etc. Towards the end, he explains how our Earth might look to the aliens and how they might find us—if any intelligent life ever exists out there—before ending the book with thought-worthy reflections on the cosmic perspective.

The book is thoroughly enjoyable even for someone who is not much familiar with physics. If you are someone on whom the night sky normally has a thought provoking effect, it is a must-read.

The book serves it’s purpose in terms of content. No misprints or quality defect.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 18 November 2021

Verified Purchase

I don’t believe this is a book/product from a licensed publication partner. It’s most likely from a third party printing house but it does serve it’s purpose. The physical quality and printing is fine and gets the job perfectly done. This is not a review of the content of the book like the other reviews but rather on whether you should buy this particular item from Amazon. Chances are you already know what the book is and what it is about and how good it is so I don’t get why people are primarily focusing on reviewing the actual content of the book on Amazon. There are other places/ websites to do that.

You can buy this book. No doubt. No printing error, ink issues, quality issues etc. In fact the quality is actually quite nice especially bundled with the hard cover and jacket for such a reasonable price. Happy reading.

Fascinating book!

Reviewed in Japan 🇯🇵 on 6 January 2018

Verified Purchase

If you love watching Neil deGrasse Tyson in talk-show interviews or his lectures, this book is for you. Physics was my weakest subject out of the sciences in school (I'd like to thank my wonderful high school Physics teacher for going on maternity leave two months in and leaving us with someone who was hard to understand...), but as I've had a fascination with the solar system and astronomy as a child (my first book I wanted in elementary school was from the World of Science store called Astronomy), I can't let go of my curiosity for the universe. I hope everyone gives this book a shot even if it's their first! His explanations are excellent and easy-to-understand.

Entrega exatamente o que o título propõe. Sou fã da forma como o autor simplifica tópicos complexos. Destinado a leigos com ensino médio. Fiquei chateado que comprei a versão em inglês e daí alguns dias depois lançaram a versão em português.
