Overview

A black teenager in the '70s-era Bronx was fascinated by space and frequently took his telescope up to the rooftop. But his neighbors were frightened, thinking he was an armed burglar. They called the police. In the mid-1990s, this same person was named Director of the American Museum of Natural History's world-renowned Hayden Planetarium. This enthralling biography of Neil deGrasse Tyson, America's favorite astrophysicist, takes the reader from the hardscrabble streets of the inner city to the hallowed halls of science to the outer reaches of our galaxy and beyond. As this inspiring volume attests, Tyson's life beautifully illustrates the maxim "through adversity to the stars."
