Neil deGrasse Tyson best books, ranked

Neil deGrasse Tyson — 2 titles in the rankings, first published between 2017 and 2026. They average 8.1, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note American astrophysicist, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York and host of the television series Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey. Astrophysics for People in a Hurry, his most read book, explains the Big Bang, dark matter, dark energy and our place in the universe in short chapters meant for a commute, with plenty of jokes along the way. A quick, friendly overview rather than a deep course; it rates well. His other books still have too few ratings here.
