Summary: The #1 New York Times Bestseller: The essential universe, from a celebrated and beloved astrophysicist.

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry reveals just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.
