I felt a little cheated by the title of this book, since the part that includes dying by black hole is close to the end of the book. After listening to that part, however; I understand why this book is called that. It's a very intense and disturbing image. I've listened to another of Tyson's b...
Tyson and only Tyson ( after the death of Carl Sagan ) can brings the cosmos down to earth , he is the hero of contemporary astrophysicists ,I am chasing him on YouTube , Star Talk and Twitter , unfortunately part of his book are unavailable here on the internet :/ This book is one of few books...
rosado> walkies!Apparently, this gentleman is often on the box in the corner (that isn't so funny anymore is it, now that the TV is never a box in the corner anymore.)Not about this book, more along the mode of listening: have you got the 'find friend' app? Small things amuse us here, I try an get t...
Seems like a collection of essays, but they are collected into larger topics and work well together. Death by Black Hole is only one of them; most are excellent and very accessible to the non-physicist. First I've read from Dr. Tyson; will read more in the near future!
Don't be fooled by the title! If your'e really interested in cosmic catastrophes I'd highly recommend Phil Plait's Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End.... If you've never watched PBS's Nova or had the chance to hear Tyson speak, you don't know what you're missing. Tyson is ...
Podría pasar la vida leyendo libros de Neil deGrasse Tyson sin cansarme nunca.Tengo un lugar especial en mi corazón reservado para la gente que escribe sobre algo que le apasiona y contagia a otros con su entusiasmo por un tema. Neil esta acaparando casi todo el espacio en ese huequito de mi corazón...
Blinded by scienceEinstein, Io, comet tails Information glutI consider myself an intelligent person. I also find science fascinating. I'm just not sure what happen between me and Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries.....Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a science-y book. Maybe I ove...
I will pick this up again when I am in the mood for more hard science.-----------interesting factoids:1) the "spokes" of Venus that Percival Lowell thought he saw are now believed to have been shadows cast upon his retina from his own ocular blood vessels, due to the optical setup he used to view th...
I'm conflicted about this book. The dialogue is funny, fast and Whedon-esque (in fact, a LOT of this book could have been modeled on Firefly. A disturbing amount, as I think about it) and the characters are likable enough- but there's inadequate world-building. I didn't get enough of the backstory t...
