Black Hole Survival Guide

In these pages, astrophysicist Janna Levin explores perhaps the most confounding object in the entire universe: black holes. Taking us on a close encounter with these tantalizing objects, Levin provokes us to imagine the visceral experience of coming face-to-face with a black hole. She reveals their influence as they populate the universe, sculpt galaxies, and even infuse the whole expanse of reality that we inhabit. Lively, engaging, and utterly unique, Black Hole Survival Guide is not just informative--it is, as well, a wonderful read from first to last.
