Das Erste, das mir aufgefallen ist, als ich das Paket geöffnet habe, war ein unfassbar guter Geruch. Ich weiß nicht, ob das gewollt ist, aber das Buch riecht, und riecht auch immernoch, so gut! Ich habe mir dieses Buch gekauft, da ich die Arbeit von Neil de Grasse Tyson bewundere und ihn für einen äußerst fähigen Physiker halte. Ich selber studiere Physik und bin besessen von Astrophysik. Das Buch ist nicht ganz einfach zu verstehen. Einerseits ist es natürlich auf Englisch und dann ist es Physik.. Dennoch ist es ein sehr gut geschriebenes und informatives Buch. Ich würde es an Menschen empfehlen, die wirklich Physikbegeistert und der englischen Sprache mächtig sind. Read more

Definitely a must-read book. Through the chapters it might even reminds you some of the NDT interview's has given over the years where he clearly quotes some of the phrases you can find in this book. It will probably be the kind of book whose chapters will be reread from time to time. Read more

What a well-rounded and lovely book, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know more but doesn’t have a degree in the sciences or maths! It really does cover the lot, everything you could want to know about astrophysics (aka space and sciencey stuff!). It is well thought out with nice neat chapters covering the different areas, which range from the very small to the very large, a bit of history and some modern information and facts too of course. All explained in a really friendly down to earth way (excuse the pun) making the complicated stuff as uncomplicated as possible. I think this really is a book for everyone (they should give it out in schools) - if you don’t understand it all then that’s ok, you will have an idea and an understanding of it at least from this book. It really does seem to encompass all of an astrophysicists world in a nutshell – perhaps more. In my opinion the ending was not necessary, however I thought it was a nice touch, albeit a little preachy. Overall please do go and out find a copy of this book to read. Read more

El libro es mucho mas pequeño de lo que esperaba y eso es genial; uno puede llevarlo a donde sea y la pasta dura brinda protección extra. La sobrecubierta tiene un acabado muy interesante, como aterciopelado al tacto; muy buen detalle. Como lo mencionaba, la pasta y el empastado se notan resistentes. En cuanto al contenido del libro; debo decir que creía tener cierta noción sobre astro física y éste libro me ha hecho ver que no era así, los temas son complicados, pero muy interesantes y excelentemente explicados por DeGrasse. Éste tipo de lectura debería ser obligatoria para libros de texto educativo para temas complejos; si no hacen el aprendizaje más sencillo, por lo menos lo hacen más interesante. Read more

Perfect book selection for someone wanting an intriguing introduction to the cosmos. Neil has a way to make the science fun again. Having watched his numerous podcasts, this book was well worth the investment. I will be purchasing more from his library of the universe. Great introduction to the 14 billion years of the universe.
