Neil deGrasse Tyson
Even though he is primarily known as an astrophysicist and not as an author, there isn’t a shadow of a doubt that Neil deGrasse Tyson has indeed created another universe with his literary works. One of the “stars” of science “a pantheon that includes Bill Nye and Stephen Hawking” his latest publication, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, is the perfect on-the-go read for those living the modern and fast-paced city lifestyle, but still wish to indulge in the basic questions of what lies beyond and the Great Unknown. It contains a compressed collection of Tyson’s essays that appeared in Natural History magazine at various points from the years 1997 to 2007, written in consumable chapters that bring the universe to the tips of our fingers in a way that’s clear, witty and uncomplicated. – Joanna Lee
