Product Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
How to Survive Your First Alien Encounter:
- Do NOT shake hands. You don't know what part of the Alien's anatomy you just touched.
- Avoid sudden movements. Especially if they have lasers. Or tentacles. Or both.
- Remember: you are the representative of Earth. No pressure.
Ever since childhood, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson has wanted to be abducted by aliens. Here, he draws upon a lifetime s fascination to explore the science of alien life and to offer a practical guide to your first alien encounter.
Would an alien really be a humanoid with a pointy head, or might it look more like a worm, a roving cloud of gas, or perhaps a testicle monster ? How should you communicate with an alien who didn t speak English, and what does it have to do with the Pythagorean Theorem? And if an alien did demand Take me to your leader! , who are you actually meant to take it to?
Touching on Star Wars and Spielberg, UFOs and Area 51, Take Me to Your Leader is both a romping work of popular science and a love letter to our as-yet-elusive extraterrestrial friends.
It is the most entertaining book ever written by one of the best-loved scientists in the world, and perhaps in the galaxy.
