À propos de cet audio
Welcome to the Universe is a personal guided tour of the cosmos by three of today's leading astrophysicists. Inspired by the enormously popular introductory astronomy course that Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott taught together at Princeton, this book covers it all - from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes, wormholes, and time travel.
Describing the latest discoveries in astrophysics, the informative and entertaining narrative propels you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space. How do stars live and die? Why did Pluto lose its planetary status? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding, and why is its expansion accelerating? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Answering these and many other questions, the authors open your eyes to the wonders of the cosmos, sharing their knowledge of how the universe works.
Breathtaking in scope, Welcome to the Universe is for those who hunger for insights into our evolving universe that only world-class astrophysicists can provide.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Histoire
On May 25, 1977, a problem-plagued, budget-straining, independent science-fiction film opened in a mere 32 American movie theatres. Conceived, written, and directed by a little-known filmmaker named George Lucas, Star Wars reinvented the cinematic landscape, ushering in a new way for movies to be made, marketed, and merchandised. Simply put, George Lucas is one of the most influential filmmakers of the past 50 years.

When does enlightenment come? At the end of the spiritual journey? Or the beginning? In After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, Jack Kornfield brings into focus the truth about satori, the awakened state of consciousness, and enlightenment practices today. The result is this extraordinary look at the hard work we all must do - the laundry - no matter how often we experience ecstatic states of consciousness through meditation and other disciplines.

Histoire
Are human beings immortal? Are apples conscious? Do our legal systems make assumptions about free will that are just plain wrong? Of all the terrific books on quantum physics—from Stephen Hawking to Brian Greene—the questions they never seem to satisfy are the implications of the science. We know that quantum physics is real—our phones and computers wouldn’t work if the science wasn’t right. But what does it all mean?

Histoire
In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.

One of the world's most renowned theoretical physicists, Carlo Rovelli has entranced millions of readers with his singular perspective on the cosmos. In Helgoland, he examines the enduring enigma of quantum theory. The quantum world Rovelli describes is as beautiful as it is unnerving. Helgoland is a treeless island in the North Sea where the 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg made the crucial breakthrough for the creation of quantum mechanics, setting off a century of scientific revolution.

In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of ‘woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.

Amazing!
absolutely amazing to learn how vast the universe is, and how so many scientists have contributed to our understanding of it!
All you could want to know is in this book, and then some... it's unbelievable how scientists were able to calculate everything from the size, mass and distance to planets, their moons, stars, galaxies and much, much more.
The narrator is very good at keeping one's interest with his soothing voice.
Well done by all who contributed to this marvelous story!

Excellent content... annoying narrator
Tyson should have narrated the book entirely or someone who doesn’t have a nasal annoyingly pitched voice. The content is compelling and remarkable... but took me several tries to finish due to my annoyance with the tone and pitch and cadence of the narrator.

Great title
overall quite informative and delivered in a way that keeps you interested
one con being the narrators voice. I would occasionally drift and start focusing on how nasally and annoying the voice was instead of the content

Can I get this narrated by anyone else?
I enjoyed the book when I borrowed it from the library but I don't own it so I figured I'd buy the audible version. Now I don't know what it is about the narrator's voice that simultaneously exhausts and irritates me but if you're anything like me this book will be very good for putting you to sleep in minutes as opposed to teaching you cool science stuff. I know that's rather mean but what I previously liked I find impossible to grasp in this version. That's what I get for not listening to the sample! Sorry Mr. Murray, I'm sure you're a lovely person in person.
