具体描述
The essential universe, from our most celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.
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.
While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.

##还挺basic的aka.书如书名。最后一章凹的宏观微观联系有点玄学走向哈哈。
评分##Neil真的是给大众写书，真心人民教育家。但是写了这么多本了还是停留在比较浅的层面，难免觉得不过瘾。有些篇章比较精彩，有些就觉得太多无用功。
评分##这本书短小精悍，一不小心就连着听了两遍。Tyson确有sagan之风，在科普的时候会触动你的心灵。
评分##感谢在没有译本的时候有解读！
评分推荐，会再读。 特别是最后一章。
评分##Lucid. Dark matter and dark energy keep our universe together and expanding respectively. The Big Bang created three simplest yet most abundant elements in universe: H, He and Li. Earth is constantly hit by meteors on its orbit and the situation was way worse in the past. Eventually some meteors in the Asteroid/Kuiper Belt will kill us all.
评分##虽然我本科专业是物理，但是看这个天体物理的科普书才深深的感受到“天体物理真难呀”。
评分##感谢在没有译本的时候有解读！
评分##月初听的，后面用来做了一点听写。我也不知道为嘛读了这么多其实很简单的科普，大概是每次都会发现一点新鲜玩意儿。比如说贵州的FAST是世界上最棒最大的radio telescope啦，如果有外星人打电话一定是中国人先收到(?)。(1)我一直知道quark来自于芬尼根守灵夜，但不知道一开始科学家以为quark只有3种，所以才用了那句“Three quarks for Muster Mark!” (2)关于periodic table里面元素名称的来源，跟astrophysics里面一些词语的词源是一样的，而且发现的顺序有些也是一样的，天文和化学这就结合在一起了。例如：“Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto ” 对应Uranium，neptunium， plutonium。当然他们
