Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
Updated: Feb 14, 2020

Summary: Astrophysics is a complicated subject that many only know from sci-fi films and leave to the rocket scientists. In Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, Dr. Tyson breaks down some of the basic concepts of astrophysics for the rest of us stuck on Earth.

Review: I am a sci-fi nut and recently fell in love with Neil DeGrasse Tyson's podcast StarTalk Radio. I enjoy how Dr. Tyson explains physics in a fun and easy-to-understand way, so I decided to get his book to learn even more.
It was really good and discussed some of the basic concepts in ways that were understandable to a non-physicist. I was only disappointed that it was too short and didn't go into more detail. I guess that just means I will have to get more of his books.
