Summary:

Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in
history, wrote the modern classic A Brief History of Time to help
nonscientists understand the questions being asked by scientists
today: Where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin?
Will it come to an end, and if so, how? Hawking attempts to reveal
these questions (and where we're looking for answers) using a minimum
of technical jargon. Among the topics gracefully covered are gravity,
black holes, the Big Bang, the nature of time, and physicists' search
for a grand unifying theory. This is deep science; these concepts are
so vast (or so tiny) as to cause vertigo while reading, and one can't
help but marvel at Hawking's ability to synthesize this difficult
subject for people not used to thinking about things like alternate
dimensions. The journey is certainly worth taking, for, as Hawking
says, the reward of understanding the universe may be a glimpse of
"the mind of God." --Therese Littleton
