Book Excerpt:

Silver Pocket Dial (in the collection of the Honble Company of Clockmakers, London). 'Good morrow, fool, quoth I. "No sir," quoth he, "Call me not fool till heaven hath sent me fortune; And then he drew a dial from his poke, And looking on it with lack-lustre eye, Says, very wisely, "It is ten o'clock: Thus we may see," quoth he, "how the world wags: 'Tis but an hour ago since it was nine, And after one hour more 'twill be eleven. And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe, And then from hour to hour we rot and rot. And thereby hangs a tale." When I did hear The motley fool thus moral on the time, My lungs began to crow like Chanticleer, That fools should be so deep contemplative; And I did laugh, sans inter. . . Read More

If you're thinking of reading A Brief History of Time, read this first. At least if you're a total civilian, which I am.

My son and I read this together. We did have to hit the Internet pretty hard a few times to get clarification on some critical points; but all in all, this is a well-written, acce

Tremendo libro para quienes somos aficionados a la astronomía, tuvieron que pasar mas de 50 años para encontrar una explicación sencilla que permitiera a cualquier persona comprender los misterios del universo.

En muy entretenido y te atrapa aunque con el pasar de las paginas se va poniendo un poco m

"WE LIVE IN A STRANGE AND wonderful universe."

In 'A Briefer History of Time,' the authors have been successful in making good on their promise to deliver a simplified version of original book, to provide the general reader with some understanding of the universe.

In this well laid out book, reader is

A must-have volume for readers of popular science!

The title says it all and is probably the best summary of this exciting and entirely accessible popular physics book. A BRIEFER HISTORY OF TIME is both an update on and a more succinct, briefer version of Hawking's best-selling original work, A BRIEF

Stephen Hawking es un físico teórico cuya hipótesis sobre el tiempo, los agujeros negros y el espacio han constituido la forma en que actualmente pensamos en el universo. Su brillantez logra un dramatismo, debido a que su mente habita un cuerpo que se ha consumido por varios años a causa de una escl

An exceptionally good, concise look at physics for the layman. The explanations were just super. Simple, yet not stupidly so for me with my high school & Sunday supplement level of education on the subject. There are some tough concepts to understand. For instance, wave-particle duality is pretty we
