Neil deGrasse Tyson is a world-renowned American astrophysicist and science communicator, host of the podcast and television show StarTalk on the National Geographic Channel, and director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. He is the author of numerous bestsellers.

As an astrophysicist—that is, someone closer to the stars and higher above the earth than the rest of us—Neil deGrasse Tyson offers a bird's-eye view of the pain points of our civilization—war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, and human differences—to more acutely sense our unity.

At a time when contradictions have reached their peak, the author offers an antidote to hostility: a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science, the main pillars of enlightenment. By reflecting deeply on Earth as a planet and how scientists view the world, we can still redefine our priorities and rebuild our value system.

The author reminds us of our place in the vast Universe and how precious life is, and that it is on this maxim that the main truths about the world and man are built.
