Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry

This is a gem, I read it before giving to 11 yr old grandson who loves everything space. Easy to understand but does not talk down to kids. very engaging. Now i need to read more of his books.

Amazing book. Great scientific information written in a very captivating way. Anything that Neil DeGrasse Tyson writes is more than worth it.

Niel Degrass Tyson has inspired something in my 7 year old son. It appears to be a love for science and the mysteries of the universe. He devoured this book in several days and has now started reading some of the adult oriented books by Degrass Tyson such as "Death by Black Hole". He is reading them much slower and I am little concerned that "Death by Black Hole" was written for adults but my son is still reading this book and is about 100 pages in. I am surprised he is not getting board with it but more than anything this is a testament to how inspiring Degrass Tyson is as an author and lecturer on science and the fascinating wonders of the universe. I recommend this book to younger children with a remote interest in science and the universe.

Good book

If your kid is invested in science, this is a great card. My 8 year old has listened many times and continues to come back to it. I don’t always agree with Neil deGrasse Tyson, but there aren’t too many of his “extra” opinions included here; just the science. I imagine most kids realistically won’t have the desire or attention span, though. It’s still Astrophysics.

I preordered this book for my 8 year old son who has been fascinated with the universe and the complex wonders it holds for a long while. I was so excited and hopeful that it would be engaging for his young age, but also tackle some of those more advanced topics that he has been interested in. The book has met my expectations! I read this book to my son, and I am learning right along with him. The language is engaging for younger people, with humor and well delivered word pictures throughout. I highly recommend this book, with one caveat: the book goes into great detail on the creation of the universe through the Big Bang, and so if your beliefs lead you to a different understanding of the beginning of the universe you will need to be prepared to discuss this with your child.

Great book with lots of cool and interesting information. Pictures in book were nice feature. Even adults can appreciate it.

I bought this as a real-world supplemental curriculum for middle school homeschool science / language arts. My 12 year old found it a bit dry and over her head, but I, the adult parent, found it fascinating! Physics and chemistry and astronomy have never been interesting to me, but this book is definitely a good read!

Good book, easy language. Could use some more pictures, but it already has a 9 year old excited to learn more.

Indispensable complément à ce qui est enseigné classiquement dans nos écoles. Acheté pour ma nièce adolescente et curieuse pour lui permettre de se situer dans ce merveilleux cosmos .

Best book to give your kids so that they understand about astrophysics

Bought it for my nephew and he loved it.

O livro é lindo maravilhoso, mas chegou TODO amassado, até rasgado ele chegou. Eu estou muito descontente com isso porque além de demorarem mais de dois meses pra entregar, entregaram nessa qualidade péssima. E outra, quando fiz a compra com o cartão ainda era abril e só aceitaram a compra ontem. Péssima organização, mesmo que nunca tenham errado nas entregas, dessa vez esperei demais por um livro que chegou em tal situação.
