A pairing of two classic science texts by one of the greatest minds of our time.
For the The Illustrated A Brief History of Time,
expanded from its original publication in 1988, Professor Stephen
Hawking prepared a new introduction to the book, wrote an entirely new
chapter on wormholes and time travel, and updated the original text.
This edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color
illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made possible by
spectacular technological advances such as the Hubble Space Telescope,
and computer-generated images of three- and four-dimensional realities. A
classic work that now brings to the reader the latest understanding of
cosmology, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time is the story of the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of time and space.
In The Universe in a Nutshell,
Professor Hawking takes us to the cutting edge of theoretical physics,
where he seeks to uncover the grail of science—the elusive "Theory of
Everything" that lies at the heart of the cosmos. In his accessible and
often playful style, he guides us on his search to uncover the secrets
of the universe—from supergravity to supersymmetry, from quantum theory
to M theory, from holography to duality. Copious four-color
illustrations help clarify this journey into a surreal wonderland where
particles, sheets, and strings move in eleven dimensions and where the
original cosmic seed from which our universe sprang was a tiny nut.
