Dr. Tyson is the most famous astrophysicist of our time. In Starry Messenger he walks readers through a scientific view of everyday life topics – things typically discussed around the office, with family and friends, at the dinner table, and sometimes just within our own, unexpressed thoughts. With his extraordinary breadth of knowledge, and his unique point of view, Dr. Tyson tackles the topics and issues that are constantly debated, whether in the media, online, or in real life. His cosmic perspectives may make readers think twice about what they believe to be true, as he takes on a multitude of subjects including truth and beauty; exploration and discovery; Earth and Moon; conflict and resolution; risk and reward; meatarians and vegetarians; gender and identity; color and race; law and order; body and mind; and life and death.
With the same curiosity that drove Neil deGrasse Tyson to explore space from a very young age and make it his life’s occupation and vocation, he now fills out his bibliography with his most expansive book to date, Starry Messenger.
