  A journey guided by science that explores the universe, the earth, and the story of life 
   
   
    
  For Irwin Shapiro, science starts with questions. This book provides a broad and entertaining survey of major scientific discoveries that have changed our views of nature and, in turn, spawned further questions. 
   
   
    
  Shapiro, an award-winning scientist and beloved teacher, separates his inquiry into three parts: looking up at the universe; looking down at the earth and its fossils; and looking in at the story of life. His framework encourages listeners to view science as a detective story—to observe and question nature and natural phenomena, and to base all conclusions on scientific evidence. 
   
   
    
  With his knowledgeable yet conversational approach, Shapiro offers an enjoyable way for the curious to learn about the foundations of a range of scientific topics: the motions of bodies in the cosmos, the history and structure of the earth, the evolution of organisms, and the search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence.

  The world is increasingly vulnerable to a wide array of disasters, both natural and man-made, that threaten our lives, economies, and ecosystems. These crises, which range from catastrophic earthquakes to the far-reaching impacts of climate change, have become more frequent, intense, and interconnected. While the planet has always been subject to the forces of nature, human activity has amplified many of these events, while also introducing new, unprecedented risks. Natural disasters, like hurricanes, wildfires, and floods, have become an inevitable part of the global landscape, but they are now exacerbated by the ongoing environmental degradation we’ve caused. Likewise, man-made calamities, from industrial accidents to nuclear disasters, have demonstrated how human innovation can have disastrous consequences when not properly managed. 
    
  The interwoven nature of these crises has led to a compounded sense of urgency. Events like pandemics, which have a devastating impact on public health, can be worsened by the social and economic disarray that follows a natural or political disaster. The global interconnectivity in the age of globalization means that no disaster remains confined to one region; effects ripple across borders, affecting distant countries and societies. With climate change creating new uncertainties, the boundaries between natural and man-made disasters are becoming increasingly blurred. Rising temperatures contribute to more severe weather events, droughts, and wildfires, while deforestation, industrial pollution, and resource depletion are accelerating these destructive trends.

  "This engaging, conversational book begs to be read aloud, and who better than its author?... Tyson’s warmth and erudition make him a superb narrator of this excellent, thought-provoking book."- Library Journal"Like a spaceship traveling the stars, Tyson's voice flows smoothly as he delivers complex topics and positive perspectives on the future..."- AudioFileThis program is read by the author, world-renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.Bringing his cosmic perspective to civilization on Earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson shines new light on the crucial fault lines of our time—war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, and race—in a way that stimulates a deeper sense of unity for us all.In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science.After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.With crystalline prose, Starry Messenger walks us through the scientific palette that sees and paints the world differently. From insights on resolving global conflict to reminders of how precious it is to be alive, Tyson reveals, with warmth and eloquence, an array of brilliant and beautiful truths that apply to us all, informed and enlightened by knowledge of our place in the universe.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company.
