by Neil DeGrasse Tyson
There are many reasons why I enjoy reading Neil deGrasse Tyson's books. From his wit to his insight, from his directness and his understanding, he's a master at communication. When you read his books or listen to his podcasts, you get what he's trying to say. You don't feel like you're in Ferris Bueller's classroom, trying not to fall asleep. Whether or not you agree with Tyson's ideas, you can't help but be engaged.
"Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has attracted one of the world's largest online followings with his fascinating, widely accessible insights into science and our universe. Now, Tyson invites us to go behind the scenes of his public fame by revealing his correspondence with people across the globe who have sought him out in search of answers. In this hand-picked collection of 101 letters, Tyson draws upon cosmic perspectives to address a vast array of questions about science, faith, philosophy, life, and of course, Pluto. His succinct, opinionated, passionate, and often funny responses reflect his popularity and standing as a leading educator.
Tyson's 2017 bestseller Astrophysics for People in a Hurry offered more than one million readers an insightful and accessible understanding of the universe. Tyson's most candid and heartfelt writing yet, Letters from an Astrophysicist introduces us to a newly personal dimension of Tyson's quest to explore our place in the cosmos."
