Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization

byNeil deGrasse Tyson

Starry Messenger brings Neil deGrasse Tyson's attention to the cosmic perspectives on civilization, treating the subject as a developing story rather than a settled conclusion. The argument in Starry Messenger develops through scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the cosmic perspectives on civilization to larger questions in history and science, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Starry Messenger preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
