Stephen Hawking'sA Brief History of Time has become an international publishing phenomenon. Translated into thirty languages, it has sold over ten million copies worldwide and lives on as a science book that continues to captivate and inspire new readers each year. When it was first published in 1988 the ideas discussed in it were at the cutting edge of what was then known about the universe. In the intervening twenty years there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and macro-cosmic world. Indeed, during that time cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age . Professor Hawking is one of the major scientists and thinkers to have contributed to this renaissance. This special edition, which marks the twentieth anniversary of the book's original ground-breaking publication is surely destined to become a coveted collectors' item.

reviewed A brief history of time : from the big bang to black holes by Stephen Hawking

Accessible

Loved this. Wasn’t dry at all and written with a sense of humour and awareness of the target audience at all times.

For me it is less common to find a non-fiction book unputdownable but I devoured this and enjoyed all of it.

I enjoyed the variety of topics and the sense of scale. The mathematics was supported by analogy and practical examples. There were also interesting parts on general scientific progress. A stand out for me was the commentary that not so long ago learned people were able to hold the sum total of human science in their minds - something that is no longer possible.

I enjoyed the coverage of the anthropic principle however-much it may feel like a cop-out.

Black holes continue to fascinate and terrify me.

Review of 'A Brief History of Time' on 'Goodreads'

I just finished listening to Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. It was astonishing. It made me want to understand the universe in a way that no book has in the past. I actually feel like I have a grasp on what quantum physics is, when in the past I have always felt like it was a murky pool of unknowns. I can't recommend it enough, if there are any of you that didn't beat me to it. #physics #hawking #book #review #audiobook
