Astrophysics for Young People in a Hurry

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

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

Fun read for little curious minds!

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!

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.

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.

I ordered this book for my daughter who is deeply into astronomy and quantum physics. I thought this would make a great gift, and it did. It’s very nicely written and easy to understand. It helps since there are pictures to help you understand. I definitely would recommend this product for younger kids.

A great book for our 10 yr old grandson. I also look through it and found it interesting for anyone despite their age. He’s really enjoyed it.

Purchased this for my 14 year old grandson but decided to read it first. I feel this book is geared for readers older than 14 as it contains a lot of data that takes time to absorb. It is not a quick read. I reread many parts of the book to clarify what was being discussed. Protons, electrons, pulsars, neutrons, photons, atoms, molecules are all words I knew but needed a context for each. This book is an excellent tool for science in highschool and is written with many examples and much humour. I will be purchasing a few more copies for all my grandchildren and their parents.

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

Must read. Kids and adults!

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 .

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.
