Quantum mechanics and Relativity for Dummies!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Brief History of Time (Illustrated) (Hardcover)
This book explains the concepts introduced in the "Brief history of Time" more clearly with the use of outstanding illustrations and graphs. People that read the original edition will now be able to understand the somewhat cryptic notions using beautiful representations of the microcosm and macrocosm. A must for people interested in science.

Very good read,
By Paul "Paul" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Brief History of Time (Illustrated) (Hardcover)
I started out with low expectations, i thought i was going to be overwhelmed by incomprehensible facts and figures. I would be lying if i said its an easy book to read, its not, you have to give it maximum attention or else you will miss bits, but for such a complex topic Hawking does an excellent job of making it manageable for those of us who aren't geniuses yet are mildly interested in the subject, and the illustrations make it even more so.
