A pocket-style edition based on the New York Times best seller

A Brief Welcome to the Universe offers a breathtaking tour of the cosmos, from planets, stars, and galaxies to black holes and time loops. Best-selling authors and acclaimed astrophysicists Neil deGrasse Tyson, Michael A. Strauss, and J. Richard Gott take listeners on an unforgettable journey of exploration to reveal how our universe actually works.

Propelling you from our home solar system to the outermost frontiers of space, this book builds your cosmic insight and perspective through a marvelously entertaining narrative. How do stars live and die? What are the prospects of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe? How did the universe begin? Why is it expanding and accelerating? Is our universe alone or part of an infinite multiverse? Exploring these and many other questions, this pocket-friendly book is your passport into the wonders of our evolving cosmos.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great space story

I am no physicist. In fact, I generally struggled with the subject throughout my school years. That being said I found this book to be a wonderful way to revisit physics with a fresh perspective. While some sections are very math-heavy the surrounding explanations helped me connect with the content and concepts. I’d recommend this short listen to anyone looking to learn a bit more about our complex world.

A brief welcome for everyone

I love how Neil Degrasse Tyson can take something so complex and present it in a very understandable format. Great book!

Great Listen
