Week Twenty Four: Astrophysics for People in a Hurry





Definitely for novices to Astrophysics as it takes great pains to lightly describe concepts that are already quite well known. So I found most of it was retreading ground already covered in other works, and therefore a bit slow to engage.

But I can hear NDGT's voice delivering some of the more witty pieces and can forgive the repetition because occasionally I learned something I had not picked up elsewhere.

So if you know little and want to know more, go ahead, but if you're fan of Hawking, Greene or Gribbin's much more detailed works then this may be the equivalent of a remake of a rerun of a television show you've seen many times already.
