I wanted to go in a different direction this month, to go so science fiction that it turned out to be science FACT. If you are as big of a space nerd as I am, you will not need an introduction to the author for March. He is a larger than life, making-science-cool icon. He is Neil deGrasse Tyson.
We are going to have a tour of space and its secrets with one of the most brilliant minds on the subject. This is going to be a blast (ahem) so fasten your rocket seat belts for:
Death by Black Hole
By: Neil deGrasse Tyson
I thought a summary would be appropriate for this one to explain the journey, so here is a great intro from Amazon and Goodreads:
Loyal readers of the monthly "Universe" essays in Natural History magazine have long recognized Neil deGrasse Tyson's talent for guiding them through the mysteries of the cosmos with clarity and enthusiasm. Bringing together more than forty of Tyson's favorite essays, Death by Black Hole explores a myriad of cosmic topics, from what it would be like to be inside a black hole to the movie industry's feeble efforts to get its night skies right. One of America's best-known astrophysicists, Tyson is a natural teacher who simplifies the complexities of astrophysics while sharing his infectious fascination for our universe.I hope you are as excited as I am to expand your knowledge, have some fun, and share what you find with the science loving people in your own life. I think this one is going to be a game changer.
Who's with me? If you want to embark on this voyage with us, we begin March 1st, and discussion is the last Saturday of the month here, on our Facebook group on Twitter at #GGBC and on Goodreads.
I can't wait to see you, I'll be the one in the spacesuit with the Pigs In Space lunchbox.
