Synopsis "A Brief History of Time: And Other Essays "

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Published more than two decades ago to great critical acclaim and commercial success, A Brief History of Time has become a landmark volume in science writing. Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds of our time, explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin--and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending--or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends? Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and "arrows of time," of the big bang and a bigger God--where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

He held, until 2009, the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics once held by Newton at the University of Cambridge, and was awarded the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord in 1989. Universally recognized as one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world, Professor Hawking has written, despite his severe physical limitations, dozens of articles that together represent a contribution to science that we are still not able to properly assess. His first popular science book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (Critica, 1988) and The Universe in a Nutshell (Critica, 2002), are followed by A Briefer History of Time—written with Leonard Mlodinow—and the anthologies On the Shoulders of Giants: The Great Works of Physics and Astronomy (Critica 2003), the illustrated edition of the latter (Critica 2004), God Created the Numbers: The Mathematical Discoveries that Changed History (Critica 2006) and The Grand Design: The Great Works of Albert Einstein (Critica, 2008)
