Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson   222 pp.

This book is a quick overview of the Universe from the Big Bang up to what is known about it now. The explanations are clear and succinct and presented in an easily understandable and occasionally humorous way. It is not a book for someone embarking on an in depth study of astrophysics and the nature of matter. It is for the layperson who would like to be more knowledgeable about the whys and wherefores of our planet, solar system, galaxy, and universe. I listened to the audiobook read by the author, and who doesn't love to listen to Dr. Tyson?
