I decided this would be a fun and easy one...after all, it is “for young people” and I am a 38 year old university graduate who appreciates ongoing education. Yea, no...haha it was not an easy read but it was an enjoyable challenge. Multiple parts blew my mind, others stretched me to really understand.

“Kids are never the problem. They are born scientists. The problem is always the adults. They beat the curiosity out of kids.” -NdGT

For kids between the ages of seven and seventy.*

*If you read Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and felt like a few of the topics were over your head, THIS IS YOUR BOOK.

Neil deGrasse Tayson, presentador de la aclamada serie remasterizada cosmos, intenta acercarnos a todas las personas con poco o nulo conocimiento científico un pedacito de universo. Es un libro especialmente dirigido a todos aquello (como yo) que tienen poca o ninguna idea de todo lo que se encuentra relacionado con la física y todo lo que sucede en este sentido a nivel planetario y universal.

A pesar de que el libro, como ya he comentado, está enfocado a principiantes en la materia, no deja de tener partes en las cuales puede resultar un poco complicado de seguir, debido a conceptos que pueden llegar a ser complicados de entender y en algunos llegar a sacarnos del libro. Pero no es menos cierto que estos son imprescindibles para poder entender cómo funciona el cosmos a niveles invisibles a nuestros ojos.

Dicho esto, y siempre que podamos evadirnos de los ya comentados conceptos complicados de entender, es un libro recomendable para todos aquellos que tengan un mínimo de curiosidad por cómo funciona el universo y, quizá, pueda llegar a ser la puerta de entrada para muchos curiosos que quieran ir más allá e investigar más por su cuenta.

A nice, short(er) listen. Good information. Not sure what age it's aimed at, though. Some of it might be difficult for Elementary students.
