Death by Black Hole
Categories: Science & Math
Death by Black Hole collects essays that astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson wrote for Natural History magazine between 1995 and 2005. Published as a book in 2007, it ranges from how scientists extend their senses with instruments to the behavior of black holes and the origins of the universe. Tyson writes in accessible, often humorous prose. The essays are grouped into seven sections, from "The Nature of Knowledge" to "When the Universe Turns Bad" and "Science and God."
