Death by Black Hole, and Other Cosmic Quandaries by Neil Degrasse Tyson
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.Neil deGrasse Tyson is an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History, the host of the hit radio and Emmy-nominated TV show StarTalk, and the author of Astronomy for People in a Hurry and Accessory to War: The Unspoken Partnership Between Astrophysics and the Military. He currently resides in New York City.
