Product Description
Review
"He can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit--His is a brain of extraordinary power."--"New York Review of Books"
"Hawking has succeeded in writing two intertwined books, one a highly readable and popular account of the role of time in physics, the other an in-depth review--What makes all this so interesting is Hawking's ability to convoy the essential physics in words alone."--"Physics Today"
"In his first work of popular science, Stephen Hawking proves himself to be a master of vivid clarity--It's difficult to think of anyone else living who could have put these mathematically formidable subjects more clearly."--"Chicago Tribune"
"A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way."--"Wall Street journal"
"This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind."--"Sunday Times," London
"The famous theoretical physicist best known for his inquiries into the nature of black holes--turns out to be as skilled a popular writer as he is a mathematician--The result is probably the best single book on astrophysics for the common reader. Thank you, Dr. Hawking!"--"Booklist"
"Lively and provocative--Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gift--easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life."--"New York Times"
"Charming and lucid--gives the general reader an opportunity to learn some deep science directly from the source--[A book of] sunny brilliance."--"New Yorker"
Synopsis
An illustrated edition of the best-seller has been expanded to encompass the remarkable advances that have occurred in science and technology over the past eight years, with a new chapter on wormholes and time travel.
