Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution by Donald Goldsmith, Neil deGrasse Tyson
4.0
Astrophysics for people with way too much time on their hands.
Tyson’s passion for science is contagious, but after reading Origins I feel as though I just audited Astronomy 101 at Princeton. This might be deeper academic water than anyone with a mere passing interest in planetary science would like to tread. Still, the chapters on Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the most clear, most concise explanations of cosmic theory that I have ever read. This is my sixth NdGT book, he hasn’t disappointed me yet.
