The first book I've read by Dr. Kaku and I loved it! I kept lots of notes and did a bit of scribbling. It's one of thsoe books that makes me want to go Google lots of stuff and I've added a few books to my to-read list as a result. Now, I'm finally ready to give ‘Physics of the Impossible' a chance!
I love Neil deGrasse Tyson! This book is a great read for anyone interested in getting caught up on all things Plutonian, from it's discovery, naming, time as a planet, and the controversy surrounding it's fall from planethood. It is a little “dumbed down” and anyone from a smart middle schooler on up could probably follow along.
It's dystopian and depressing in a good way. It's similar in tone (but not plot, characters) and environment to ‘Children of Men'.
