About this listen

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.

What other book might you compare Astrophysics for People in a Hurry to, and why?

I had read Stephen Hawkins "Brief History of Time" quite a few years ago and have always wanted to expand my knowledge of this subject.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is engaging and witty. I liked him and will seek out more of his work, He makes the subject fun.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The immenseness of the universe.

Any additional comments?

I can't really complain that this book was too short, after all it is designed for people in a hurry. It has re-kindled my interest in astrophysics and I'm looking forward to boldly going back for another of Neil deGrasse Tyson's entertaining narratives.

Great re-introduction to a fantastic world
