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 best-selling 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 tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a 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.

##10顆星推薦,寫得真的太好瞭,是我讀過最喜歡的科普書瞭。從big bang開始無限的時空裏發生的事情,用一本小書去串聯,傳授知識又飽含人文思考。人類每一次對宇宙的探索都是好多科學傢傳承接力(愛因斯坦和牛頓頻繁齣鏡),一次次的突破開始的。認識宇宙,瞭解人類的渺小,甚至是地球的渺小,再看看2020發生的這些事,胸懷反而很寬廣,非常empowering。
##我是作者的腦殘粉
##還挺basic的aka.書如書名。最後一章凹的宏觀微觀聯係有點玄學走嚮哈哈。
##本來已經對天文類的科普書很不感冒瞭,好在這本書很薄,一個周末的時間就能讀得差不多瞭,寫得很好,時不時會讀到一些很妙的比喻讓懂的人笑齣來~
##Neil真的是給大眾寫書,真心人民教育傢。但是寫瞭這麼多本瞭還是停留在比較淺的層麵,難免覺得不過癮。有些篇章比較精彩,有些就覺得太多無用功。
##這本書短小精悍,一不小心就連著聽瞭兩遍。Tyson確有sagan之風,在科普的時候會觸動你的心靈。

##想對Daniel的研究有一點點的瞭解而讀的
