15 posts | 4 read | 24 to read
This beautifully illustrated companion to celebrated scientist Neil deGrasse Tyson s popular podcast and National Geographic Channel TV show is an eye-opening journey for anyone curious about the complexities of our universe.For decades, beloved astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has interpreted science with a combination of brainpower and charm that resonates with fans everywhere. In 2009, he founded StarTalk, the wildly popular podcast that became an Emmy-nominated talk show on the National Geographic Channel this year. Tyson s pioneering, provocative book will take the greatest hits from the airwaves to the page in one smart, richly illustrated compendium. Featuring vivid photography, thought-provoking sidebars, enlightening facts, and fun quotes from science and entertainment luminaries like Bill Nye and Dan Akroyd, "StarTalk" reimagines science s most challenging topics from how the brain works to the physics of comic book superheroes in a relatable, humorous way that will delight fans and new readers alike."

Had to pick up a hold for my daughter at the library today. I did not need more books. I have about 6 or 7 going already. BUT... They called to me. Sneaky bastards.

BarbaraJean Same!! I cannot leave the library with only one book! Current situation: 5 in-progress reads, four library books on deck. I need to start using the drive-through book drop instead of going inside. And I also need to be put on restriction from placing holds online... but no, I don‘t have a problem! (edited) 5y
Traci1 @BarbaraJean my problem is I check out even more ebooks through Libby. And then I'm trying to finish ones I own too. It's so hard to see the sparkly new stuff and just say no. I have no willpower. 😞 5y
BarbaraJean @Traci1 Hahaha—yep! Libby and Hoopla and physical library books... “At least I‘m not spending money,” I tell myself. Meanwhile, I have 300-some books languishing on my physical TBR shelves. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y

@LibrarianRyan #roadtrip #bookexpo18

On my flash drive in the car, there is Coldplay's A Sky Full of Stars. Whenever that's on, I have to be careful, because I tend to go faster.
A Sky Full of Stars: https://g.co/kgs/SvhQCx

I'm pairing it with a book about stars, the universe, space travel, etc.

Enjoy your road trip and the expo!

julesG @Lizpixie That's cool! I think I've never seen the video before. 6y

Mehso-so

Not bad, but mostly a picture book for adults. Was free, so no regrets. @silentrequiem, you want it?

I'm not kidding, this was really the closest book to me when I saw the #FunFridayPhoto prompt. Perfect for a space journey with aliens, no?👽

Stopped at the bookstore for a notebook, came out with a #stack. Oops.
