In a surprising turn of events, all three of my first few reads of 2024 were non-fiction. Considering only 6 of the 50 books I read in 2023 were nonfiction, this year is shaping to be one filled with new books! My third book of 2024 was, just like the previous two, incredible, so here's why you should read Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil de Grasse Tyson
Do We Want to Turn the Page? (in this case, YES!)
Warning! This next section may contain spoilers about the book. Also, all ratings are based entirely on my opinion and WILL be biased and subjective.
The Summary:
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There’s no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson.
But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
The Author:
Neil deGrasse Tyson was born and raised in New York City where he was educated in the public schools clear through his graduation from the Bronx High School of Science. Tyson went on to earn his BA in Physics from Harvard and his PhD in Astrophysics from Columbia.
