Reviews About “Welcome to the Universe” by “Neil deGrasse Tyson”
In a way, I am sad that they don’t make books like Welcome to The Universe anymore. This was a book written for kids, but it wasn’t condescending. It didn’t dumb down its message in order to appeal to a younger audience. It simply had fun with science and tried not to take itself too seriously. That makes it fun for adults as well! For example, on page 147 you can read To understand how all of these things work together we will need physicists and astronomers and geologists and chemists . . . if anyone has a better idea please let me know. But until then we will have to do our best with what we have. Which is just about enough if we don’t mess up too badly.
