When you are sipping your morning coffee, taking the subway, waiting for a train or flight, Astrophysics for Busy People will use the most understandable language to tell you about the cosmic issues that you care about most: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, from searching for habitable planets to searching for extraterrestrial life...
