Description
A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow is a comprehensive guide to the nature of space and time. The authors aim to make complex scientific concepts accessible to readers, while also bringing the subject up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. The book expands on the great subjects of the original, removing purely technical concepts and adding new chapters on subjects of wide interest. This reorganization allows the authors to explore recent progress in string theory and the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics. Thirty-eight full-colour illustrations enhance the text, making the book an exhilarating addition to the literature of science. By guiding readers in the ongoing search for the secrets at the heart of time and space, A Briefer History of Time is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the subject.
