Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution by Donald Goldsmith, Neil deGrasse Tyson
4.0
A very nicely written book all about the origins of the universe, solar system, and everything else. He talks about particle physics, astrobiology, and astronomy in a very cohesive and easy to read way.
Many people are lasing out at science popularizers lie Tyson, Bill Nye, and others, saying that it reduces years of work into simple explanations that don't allow readers to truly comprehend the complexity of it all. Some people may think they "know" the science after reading a book like this. I think that they have a point, but I don't fully agree. In a time when science and evidence is being attacked we need these types of people more than ever. Reading books like this sure doesn't make me into any type of scientist, but it does help me and others understand our world better and give insight into the process of scientific exploration. I think it can also inspire people to pursue these sciences more and go further with it.
