À propos de cet audio

“[Tyson] tackles a great range of subjects…with great humor, humility, and—most important—humanity.” —Entertainment Weekly

Neil deGrasse Tyson has a talent for guiding readers through the mysteries of outer space with stunning clarity and almost childlike enthusiasm. Here, Tyson compiles his favorite essays that he wrote for Natural History magazine across a myriad of cosmic topics, from astral life at the frontiers of astrobiology to the movie industry’s feeble efforts to get its night skies right.

Tyson introduces us to the physics of black holes by explaining the gory details of what would happen to our bodies if we fell into one, examining the needless friction between science and religion in the context of historical conflicts, and noting Earth’s progression to “an insignificantly small speck in the cosmos.”

Renowned for his ability to blend content, accessibility, and humor, Tyson is a natural teacher who simplifies some of the most complex concepts in astrophysics while sharing his infectious excitement for our universe.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Tyson takes readers on an exciting journey from Earth's hot springs...to the universe's farthest reaches....witty and entertaining." (Publishers Weekly)
"Smoothly entertaining, full of fascinating tidbits, and frequently humorous, these essays show Tyson as one of today's best popularizers of science." (Kirkus Reviews)
"[Tyson] demonstrates a good feel for explaining science in an intelligible way to interested lay readers; his rather rakish sense of humor should aid in making the book enjoyable." (Library Journal)

truly amazing

I thought the subtle incorporation of humour in this text made it easier to digest as i am not an astrophysicist or even an adult. I’m a 16 year old girl with adhd and this piece rarely bored me.

Great book !!

Very informative and well presented. That said the majority of the book is only distantly related to black holes. Still a good listen.

Strayed far from the title.

Great book on a wide assorted range of topics. I felt it was quite an unfocussed book of Dr.Tyson. I loved his other books. Despite the title, it has surprisingly less to do with Black holes. Please just half a chapter. In any case, the final few chapters are the best parts of the book. Worth a read, but not a "must read".

Great general book of science.

Found the title kind of boring. It was a bit of a disappointment. I like Neil deGrasse Tyson, but I just coudn't get into this book. I'd give it a pass.

Lackluster
