"If you're a fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk podcast, you're bound to find much in this book to enjoy."-- BBC Sky at Night Magazine (4-star review), "In the gulf between the depths of human curiosity and the limits of human ignorance" is a space to ask questions, write astrophysicist Tyson ( StarTalk ) and physicist Trefil ( Imagined Life ) in this breezy survey of physics's curiosities. . . . Lay readers curious about the mysteries of the universe will want to take a look., ?If you?re a fan of Neil deGrasse Tyson?s StarTalk podcast, you?re bound to find much in this book to enjoy.?-- BBC Sky at Night Magazine (4-star review), "A well-organized and well-written book ... Tyson explains the cosmos in an understandable way for those who have had some science interest, exposure or classes but who have not majored in science. He is one of the few scientists that can break it down in an understandable way and keep it very interesting."-- @litandlife, "Tyson and Trefil succinctly lead the reader through almost every aspect of cosmic history while addressing age-old questions with new verve. . . . Despite the book's title, arguably its real value is in just how efficiently it covers what we currently know about this chunk of spacetime we call home."-- Forbes.com, "Based on the popular talk show and podcast StarTalk, this collection of essays explores many of the universe's most intriguing mysteries. From dark matter, the Big Bang, and other space oddities to quarks, multiverses, and other quantum curiosities, . . . the authors invite readers to contemplate these fascinating questions which scientists have pondered for centuries. As expected from National Geographic publications, the book is beautifully illustrated. Its stunning color photographs enhance the enjoyment of this cosmic reading journey."-- Library Journal, "In the gulf between the depths of human curiosity and the limits of human ignorance" is a space to ask questions, write astrophysicist Tyson ( StarTalk ) and physicist Trefil ( Imagined Life ) in this breezy survey of physics's curiosities. . . . Lay readers curious about the mysteries of the universe will want to take a look."-- Publishers Weekly, "Cosmic Queries is a book that can bring astrophysics into the orbit of even the most novice space explorer. ... I have never been so at ease reading a science text in my life. The illustrations were so helpful and the format kept me interested throughout the pages. Neil deGrasse Tyson's engaging style is what really brought me into the book and kept me glued to its pages."-- @amysbooketlist (5-star review), Based on the popular talk show and podcast StarTalk, this collection of essays explores many of the universe?s most intriguing mysteries. From dark matter, the Big Bang, and other space oddities to quarks, multiverses, and other quantum curiosities, Hayden Planetarium director Tyson ( Astrophysics for People in a Hurry ) and Trefil (physics, George Mason Univ.; The Story of Innovation ) tackle a variety of topics [and] break down these subjects into interesting stories and fun facts, making them readily accessible to a general audience with little or no familiarity with astrophysics and quantum mechanics. Asking how old the universe is, or what the building blocks of life are, among other queries, the authors invite readers to contemplate these fascinating questions which scientists have pondered for centuries. As expected from National Geographic publications, the book is beautifully illustrated. Its stunning color photographs enhance the enjoyment of this cosmic reading journey., ?In the gulf between the depths of human curiosity and the limits of human ignorance? is a space to ask questions, write astrophysicist Tyson ( StarTalk ) and physicist Trefil ( Imagined Life ) in this breezy survey of physics?s curiosities. . . .

This item is exactly as described. It did arrive rather slowly, but I totally blame the postal system, not the seller. It was packed well, but when it arrived, part of the box was opened. Again, I blame the postal system. They have been terrible with packages, and I do not blame seller at all. This is a very trustworthy seller that you can purchase from, and feel very confident and secure about doing so.

This is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy. The product is even better condition than described, a true value for my money. Packaged and shipped well shows seller has concern for the products he sells to arrive in excellent condition. The seller is friendly and communicates timely with his customers. All in all I highly recommend this seller and would do business again anytime. Thank you and be safe. Good luck to the future.
