Review: Astrophysics for People In A Hurry
This collection of essays from Neil deGrasse Tyson warmed my heart, but didn’t delight me. That may say more about me and prejudices – having read Asimov’s math & science essays as a kid – than Tyson’s writing. He’s writing about interesting stuff. He’s engaging. He illustrates difficult concepts with interesting analogies. He taught me things I didn’t know. But I still come off more warmed than excited.
If you – or your kids – have any interest in cosmology and astrophysics take a look. If you want to find out if you have an interest in those things, have a look.
