Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Bringing a cosmic perspective to civilization, Neil deGrasse Tyson illuminates the critical fault lines of our time—war, politics, religion, truth, beauty, gender, race, and tribalism—encouraging a deeper sense of unity. Amidst a climate of divisiveness, Tyson offers a vital antidote, advocating for the twin engines of enlightenment: a cosmic viewpoint and scientific rationality. He explores how a scientist's perspective reshapes our understanding of Earth, suggesting that our priorities and actions shift when viewed from space. This shift influences our outlook on culture and society. Tyson emphasizes the human aspect of science, revealing that scientific methods and discoveries have profoundly shaped modern civilization and our daily lives. By infusing science and rational thinking into our worldviews, he demonstrates how we can attain deeper, more informed perspectives while exposing unfounded beliefs and emotions. With clarity and ample evidence, Tyson guides us through the scientific lens that transforms our understanding. From insights on resolving global conflicts to celebrating the value of life, he eloquently presents ten surprising truths about human society, enriched by our knowledge of our place in the universe.
