Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays

Hawking's musings: personal, scientific, witty, profound.

If the cosmos and brilliant minds intrigue you, then "Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays" will be a treasure. It's Hawking unbound, offering personal anecdotes alongside profound scientific insight. You'll feel like you're having a conversation with one of the most brilliant physicists as he contemplates the universe's vast mysteries and his own experiences.

Description

Readers worldwide know the work of Stephen Hawking through his phenomenal bestseller A Brief History of Time. In this collection of essays and other pieces - on subjects that range from warmly personal to the wholly scientific - he is revealed variously as the scientist, the man, the concerned world citizen, and - as always - the rigorous and imaginative thinker. Whether remembering his first experience of nursery school; puncturing the arrogance of those who think science can best be understood only by other scientists and should be left to them; exploring the origins and the future of the universe; or reflecting on the phenomenon of A Brief History of Time, Stephen's wit, directness of style and absence of pomp are vital characteristics at all times.
