Neil deGrasse Tyson & Donald Goldsmith – "The History of Everything: 14 Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution"
From the first fraction of a second after the Big Bang, when the universe expanded to the size of a grapefruit, to the birth of stars and galaxies, this updated edition charts our cosmic journey. The authors, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and astronomer Donald Goldsmith, guide readers through 14 billion years of evolution—from physics to biology, from the first atoms to the formation of planets.
Since the previous edition, science has advanced significantly. Over five thousand exoplanets have been discovered. New detectors now capture gravitational waves from sources billions of light-years away. Our understanding of five celestial bodies, including Mars—once considered too cold and small to be interesting—has been revised. New ground-based and space observatories have been built, and the foundation of scientific knowledge about the universe has been refreshed.
This book is for anyone who looks up at the night sky and wants to understand what they see. As physicist Michio Kaku notes, "Tyson and Goldsmith are the best guides for cosmic travel you could wish for." A compelling read for stargazers and science enthusiasts alike. (And yes, don't forget your towel.)
