Synopsis
Stephen Hawking has earned a reputation as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein. In this landmark volume, Professor Hawking shares his blazing intellect with nonscientists everywhere, guiding us expertly to confront the supreme questions of the nature of time and the universe. Was there a beginning of time? Will there be an end? Is the universe infinite or does it have boundaries? From Galileo and Newton to modern astrophysics, from the breathtakingly cast to the extraordinarily tiny, Professor Hawking leads us on an exhilarating journey to distant galaxies, black holes, alternate dimensions--as close as man has ever ventured to the mind of God. From the vantage point of the wheelchair from which he has spent more than twenty years trapped by Lou Gehrig's disease, Stephen Hawking has transformed our view of the universe. Cogently explained, passionately revealed, A Brief History of Time is the story of the ultimate quest for knowledge: the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.

    I’m so pleased with my purchase! The curriculum books I ordered were hard to locate, but found them from this seller at an incredible price. One item was left out of my package, but the seller got back with me quickly and put it in the mail the next morning. I look forward to supporting the TX Veteran Shop in the future by making many more purchases.

    Great read

    I read this 20 years ago and had a hard time conceptualizing this. I revisited it again and it’s brilliant. SH does a great job explaining highly complex ideas in this book and taking us through humanities growth as knowledge grew. Fascinating view on The Who What Where Why we are.

    A comment on Hawking's Brief History.

    I bought the Hawking Brief History for a friend of mine and he's very happy with it. I kind of feel bad about not supporting my local independent bookstores but it's hard to beat eBay's price and service.

    GENIUS ON DISPLY

    Incredible content from an impaired genius comparable on the scale of Einstein, & Newton!! Hobbled by Lew Gehrig's disease for over 50 years and virtually disabled for decades! To still envision the math & science involved was true genius on display!
