## Description

W. W. Norton & Company Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries : deGrasse Tyson, Neil: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Total fun - Thoroughly enjoyable so far, mid way through the book. This not for someone who only has limited background knowledge of science as there are plenty of terms and names and event that one may look up for context. For nerds like me this is worth the money spent.
Review: I came across this guy on YouTube and he was SO good at explaining tricky stuff. I watched a few more of his mini clips, then decided I needed a book. This one was the one most recommended by buyers and I have to say I find it totally fascinating.So much great info in it (easy to understand, and without jargon) that I find myself writing down numerous 'facts' just I can remember them. eg: * Over 200 planets not in our solar system have so far been discovered. * If the human eye could 'see' microwave energy, we would be able to spot police radar gun beams. * The moon doesn't exactly orbit the Earth - They both rotate around a point 1000 miles below the Earth's surface. Incidentally, black holes are just a tiny aspect of the book. Most of it is about new and updated information on astronomy and universe origins, etc. I really like this book. It's as interesting and easy to read as Bill Bryson's superb 'Short History of Nearly Everything.'

*by O***B on 11 November 2024*

I can remember as a little kid, and that was a long time ago, looking up at the night sky and trying to get my head around infinity. I couldn't and still can't. I suppose I was wondering what is it and why is it. For anyone who has had similar thoughts about why we are where we are and what where we are is, this book is an absorbing collection of explanations about so many things relative to our world, the planetary system we are part of, the galaxy and the universe. I recommend it to the enquiring mind. It is straightforward, comprehensive and satisfying. And it is written in a way that makes it just a good read.
