内容简介

Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, A Brief History of Time, has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for A Briefer History of Time: its author's wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. Although this book is literally somewhat 'briefer', it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics. Like prior editions of the book-but even more so - A Briefer History of Time will guide nonscientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. Thirty-eight full-colour illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science.

精彩书评

"Hawking and Mlodinow provide one of the most lucid discussions of this complex topic ever written for a general audience.... [They] maintain the same wry, lively tone that made A Brief History of Time such a delight."—Publishers Weekly, starred review“May be the clearest introduction to physics ever…An utterly engrossing read.” —Booklist

包装全坏了，我就服了这个不能加个壳吗？动不动就退换货，懒得换，换完还一样。受不了，再这样再也不会从京东买书了。

物美价廉！最大的优点！比较喜欢这个系列的丛书！第一，价格实惠，物美价廉！以这样的价格能买到这么好品质的书是相当的不错的了！第二，是正版书！这个十分地重要，不然难以确保内容的正确性。第三，这个系列的丛书的版本也都还不错，并不是那些比较糟糕的译本，所也推荐！反正，对于资金并不是特别充裕的人，选择这个系列的丛书还是一个不错的选择。不然，同样买一企鹅出版的外文书的钱，能够买这个版本的书好多本了，能够接触更多的作品，何乐而不为呢！这个系列的也都是一些经典的作品，大师的作品。这些作品机智、俏皮、辛辣、奇特，多为社会讽刺和政治讽刺，无情嘲弄上层社会的陈腐庸俗与愚蠢浅陋。故事结构巧妙，多以异峰突起式的意外结局点明主题；对话机智俏皮，为故事增添了不少情趣。物美价廉，印刷质量很好，纸张也保护眼睛。真希望国内的经典作品应该有这样的出版机会，以提高国民的普遍素养。对个人来说，阅读也实际上也是生命陈长的过程。一个人阅读什么书，也就预示着以后会成为什么样的人。从外在的角度来说，阅读本身实际上是一个人对外在世界探索的方法，通过阅读可以收集到足够的信息和知识，从而能够更加从容地应对社会万象。从内在的角度来说，阅读实际上就是对自身生命潜质的开发，当我们发现书中作者的某个思想触动我们的灵魂，就有可能发现我们生命地脉里蕴藏的宝藏，生命的激情与潜能也由此而被激发，因为阅读的过程实际上也就是一个生命与生命、心灵与心灵之间相互感通的过程。阅读的德性也决定了个体写作的德性，政治哲学家列奥•斯特劳斯指出，阅读习惯造就写作习惯，“一般来说，人们怎样阅读就怎样写作。通常，细心的作者也是细心的读者，反之亦然。我们的知识体系是通过课内外的自主学习而逐渐建立起来的。读书是搜集和汲取知识的一条重要途径。我们从课堂上掌握的知识不是很具体和容易理解的，需要再消化才会吸收。大量的阅读，可以将自己从课内学到的知识，融汇到从课外书籍中所获取的知识中去，相得益彰，形成“立体”的，牢固的知识体系，直至形成能力。 　　读书不仅对我们的学习有着重要作用，对道德素质和思想意识也有重大影响。“一本好书，可以影响人的一生。”这句话是有道理的。我们都有自己心中的英雄或学习的榜样，如军人、科学家、老师、英雄人物等。这些令我们崇拜或学习和模仿的楷模，也可以通过阅读各类书籍所认识。我们在进行阅读时，会潜意识地将自己的思想和行为与书中所描述的人物形象进行比较，无形中就提高了自身的思想意识和道德素质。推荐购买！！
