What forces molded the universe? Are those forces still at work, removing, changing, or adding heavenly bodies even as we gaze upward? Will humanity, and Earth itself, one day be gone? Are we alone? In an era when science journalism is perhaps more thorough and ambitious than ever before, fascinating explorations of questions like these seem available to us almost every day - provided we have a working understanding of the scientific theories on which they're based.

A fascinating overview
Revisado: 07-14-16
Neil deGrasse Tyson is excited about the universe and so should you. He splits a plethora of topics into easily digestable chunks, and manages to talk about difficult matters with such ease, that it is a pleasure to listen.
Even if you think you already know a lot about the universe, Tyson might surprise you with new facts and figures.

In which Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and courageous Puritan, pursues knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe -- in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight.

A long list of facts
Revisado: 01-19-13
As the author mentions in the foreword of the book, he gathered lots and lots of information about the time of enlightenment to provide a good scientific and historical background to his story. Unfortunately what follows is a lame story so covered in tedious historical facts and teeming with historical figures, that it is actually pretty hard to find.
In addition to that, the performance of the reader makes it as enjoyable as listening to an encyclopedia. I've expected something better from Mr. Stephenson.
