Astrophysics for People in a Hurry - Hardcover

Neil deGrasse Tyson compresses the cosmos into 200 pages. What is the universe made of, and where do we fit. A masterclass in astrophysics for readers without the math.

This is Tyson at his clearest. He works backward from your biggest questions (why do stars exist, how do galaxies work, what is dark matter) and explains what we actually know versus what we're still guessing about. The book assumes zero prior knowledge but never condescends.

Professors assign this when they need someone to explain the Hubble Tension to colleagues who haven't opened a physics journal in years. It works as a gift to a smart friend who wants the actual story, not the coffee-table version. Tyson's voice carries you through.
