Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time, remains one of the landmark volumes in scientific writing of our time. But for years readers have asked for a more accessible formulation of its key concepts - the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe.

Professor Hawking's response is this new work that will guide non-scientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space...

Although "briefer", this book is much more than a mere explanation of Hawking's earlier work. A Briefer History of Time both clarifies and expands on the great subjects of the original, and records the latest developments in the field - from string theory to the search for a unified theory of all the forces of physics. Thirty-seven full-color illustrations and must-have addition in its own right to the great literature of science and ideas.

"May be the clearest introduction to physics ever...An utterly engrossing read."

Brilhante!

Com a linguagem mais acessível (até simpática em algumas passagens) que eu já vi na vida, o autor apresenta os temas mais avançados da física.
O livro torna-se fácil, capaz de ser lido em uma tarde para o leitor mais despreocupado.
Vale MUITO a pena.
