Neil DeGrasse Tyson - My Favorite Universe

Its a good buy. Once you get used to his style, which can best be described as animated (I don't think he stands still once). The lectures are presented as a class room talk and are slightly more in depth than your average TV show on similar topics. Graphics and photographs are adequate, the sort of thing you would get in a well researched classroom lecture.

I learned a few things particularly in the area of black holes and relativity. I haven't seen the last three yet. But don't be put off by the first three, he builds up in complexity, so I am looking forward to the end of the series.

Recommended. thanks for the link Suzy
