A Briefer History of Time

I årene efter Stephen Hawking udgav den internationale bestseller "A Brief History of Time" blev han ofte kontaktet af læsere, der havde ekstremt svært ved at forstå enkelte af bogens allersværeste og allervigtigste koncepter. Af denne årsag, udgiver Hawking her "A Briefer History of Time" i ønsket om at gøre bogens indhold mere forståeligt for læserne. Samtidig er bogen opdateret med de nyeste videnskabelige opdagelser og observationer. Selvom "A Briefer History of Time" er betydeligt kortere end dens forlæg, indeholder den faktisk uddybende information ved flere af bogens afsnit. Komplet tekniske koncepter er fjernet, hvorimod emner af større interesse for den brede befolkning er blevet givet deres helt egne kapitler - heriblandt relativitet, curved space og kvanteteori.

FROM ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS OF OUR TIME COMES A BOOK THAT CLARIFIES HIS MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller A Brief History of Time remains a landmark volume in scientific writing. But for readers who 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-- A Briefer History of Time is Professor Hawking's response. 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 enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating and must-have addition in its own right to the great literature of science and ideas.
