About this listen

For science geeks, space and physics nerds, and all who want to understand their place in the universe, this enlightening new book from Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a unique take on the mysteries and curiosities of the cosmos, building on rich material from his beloved StarTalk podcast. In this illuminating audiobook, Tyson and coauthor James Trefil, a renowned physicist and science popularizer, take on the big questions that humanity has been posing for millennia - How did life begin? What is our place in the universe? Are we alone? - and provide answers based on the most current data, observations, and theories. Populated with paradigm-shifting discoveries that help explain the building blocks of astrophysics, this relatable and entertaining audiobook will engage and inspire listeners of all ages, bring sophisticated concepts within reach, and offer a window into the complexities of the cosmos.

I love this book! Learning about where we come from and how we were made, makes me grateful that we live on planet earth

The universe is has no obligation to make sense to us , yet I understand where I come from and it’s amazing to learn.

This is exactly what I want from a Tyson book! This is exactly what I want from a Cosmic Queries book!
Look, I'm an avid StarTalk fan. I'm also a big science fan, so a lot of this book was nothing new to me. Some of it was, but that's really not the point. It's the presentation! This book is written almost like a conversation. It isn't dry facts listed out about discoveries and the people who found them. Instead it's laid out like a story, filling you in on the facts. Wonderfully written! The audiobook has Tyson for bits of it, like his tweets pertaining to the chapter subject, the majority is read beautifully by Laura Fortgang. She needs more VO work!

Fantastic!

If you've read NDT books in the past, you'll get no new information out of this one. It was still a good book.

Was okay.

This is a book of facts, but marvelous facts! Beautiful pieces of the puzzle that is our universe and beyond. The story is what we have learned, mostly. through scientific trial and error but also astute observing, about our tiny, special planet and the vastness of space around it and the physics of how it works.

You have to pay attention

This was a great book, covers a lot of things that Neil has talked about. Goes a little more in depth, with a variety of different topics. What I got out of it was a reminder that nothing lasts forever, very humbling. Thank you Dr. Tyson, for inspiring and educating in the best way possible. for this I will keep looking up!
