Neil DeGrasse Tyson is an American astrophysicist and science communicator. He is one of the most recognizable scientists in the world. He earned degrees at Harvard, the University of Texas, and Columbia University before taking positions at some of the most noteworthy planetariums in the United States. In the 1990s and early 2000s, he began publishing books and appearing on television. He quickly earned praise for his ability to distill complicated phenomena in astrophysics to the general public. In this volume, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, Tyson showcases his talents in succinct, witty chapters–each addressing some component of space and time, the universe, and physics. It is a well-written primer on astrophysics with a strong understanding of its subject matter as well as its audience.
