Reviews
Characteristically fun and jaunty.
Dr. Tyson has a grand time dissecting certain forms of foolishness. Get it, plan to savor it--Angela Gunn
Tyson comes across as having an excellent grasp of the current state of astrophysics, cosmology, chemistry and other scientific disciplines... he conveys knowledge clearly to the nonspecialist, often with ingratiating humor and wit.--Roy E. Perry
