What is the nature of space and time? What is our place in the Universe? What is the place of the Universe in our lives? There is no better guide to all these questions than world-renowned astrophysicist, science populariser and bestselling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. However, few of us have time to spend time gazing at the stars, so Tyson introduces them in a clear and concise way. The witty and entertaining text is divided into small portions, which are convenient for feeding the brain thirsty for answers during a break from a busy day. The author offers a brief but meaningful introduction to the fundamental issues of space: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, from exploring other planets to the search for life in the Universe.

"Intergalactic space is certainly fascinating, but walking around in it is unhealthy." 

"Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a master of rationalisation and simplification. He takes mind-bogglingly complex ideas and takes them apart to the bone, adding colourful allegories and cool jokes, and makes these ideas accessible even to non-professionals." - Salon
