    The Brief History Of Time

    By John Weidman  Jul 31, 2006

    Pros: Amazing concepts explainged in such simple and understandable terms.

    Cons: If you don't care about how the universe might work then you might not like this read

    I would have to say that this book is a good read for anyone who is willing to learn. In this book amazing concepts are introdused to the reader through completly understandable terms. The book now being realesed as the tenth anaversary edition has a...ged like fine wine. The terms that are used in it have become intigrated into calture (black holes for example) The new information keeps the book on the leading edge while showing where things have come from. I read the book when I was in the 7th grade and reread the new version and have to say that the extra material is well worth the rereading. Over all I would tell anyone who wants to read and learn, to read this book. Hawking with his amazing imagination and beautiful ability to put mind boogaling imagaes on the canvas of the readers mind has made and added to what should be read by everyone. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Brief History of Time

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    Stephen Hawking has overcome a crippling disease to become the supernova of world physics. Unable to write or even speak clearly, he is leaping beyond relativity, beyond quantum mechanics, beyond the big bang, to the 'dance of geometry' that created the universe.

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    With more than 240 color illustrations, including Hubble photographs and satellite images, this is a fascinating plunge into black holes, wormholes, time travel, particle physics, intergalactic oddities, and--no less dizzying--the head of an extraordinary scientist.

Publisher Notes: Brief History of Time

  • A Brief History of Time,"" published in 1988, was a landmark volume in science writing and in world-wide acclaim and popularity, with more than 9 million copies in print globally. The original edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe. But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro--and the macrocosmic world--observations that have confirmed many of Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book.
    Now a decade later, this edition updates the chapters throughout to document those advances, and also includes an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction. It make vividly clear why A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the universe.
