Starry Messenger

Neil deGrasse Tyson is not only America's favorite astrophysicist and director of New York City's Hayden Planetarium, but he also has a poetic imagination and can tell a good story. Here, he puts our progress in understanding the vast cosmos and other realms of scientific discovery into perspective for the non-scientific crowd. This book would make a fascinating read for you or if you're searching for a great gift, for a friend, family member or co-worker.
