An exciting journey. Newcomers will profit from Tyson's witty and entertaining description of being pulled apart, atom by atom, into a black hole, and other, closer-to-earth, and cheerier, topics., Tyson proves that no topic is too big or small for his scrutiny.... [He] tackles an impressive range of subjects... with great humor, humility, and--most important--humanity. , Tyson comes across as having an excellent grasp of the current state of astrophysics, cosmology, chemistry and other scientific disciplines... he conveys knowledge clearly to the nonspecialist, often with ingratiating humor and wit., It's more imperative than ever that we find writers who can explain not only what we're discovering, but how we're discovering it. Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of those writers.
