Space Chronicles cover

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a rare breed of astrophysicist, one who can speak as easily and brilliantly with popular audiences as with professional scientists. Now that NASA has put human space flight effectively on hold, Tyson’s views on the future of space travel and America’s role in that future are especially timely and urgent.

"Astrophysicist and supremely entertaining science popularizer Neil deGrasse Tyson is on a crusade to convince everyone of the political, economic and security benefits of space-science research and exploration." -- Nature
"Tyson is an entertaining writer with a startling imagination..." -- Sky at Night
"There is much to enjoy here, and nothing too arcane for a non-space cadet to follow." -- Dava Sobel
"...written in an engaging style..." -- Observatory Magazine
"...well written, anecdotal and humorous..." -- SSR
