内容简介

In the years since its publication in 1988， Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time has established itself as a landmark volume in scientific writing. It has become an international publishing phenomenon， translated into forty languages and selling over nine million copies. The book was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe， but since that time there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawkin's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book， including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE)， which probed back in time to within 300，000 years of the fabric of space-time that he had projected.

Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations， as well as his recent research， for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book， written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel， and updated the original chapters.

In addition， to heighten understanding of complex concepts that readers may have found difficult to grasp despite the clarity and wit of Professor Hawking's writing， this edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations， including satellite images， photographs made made possible by spectacular technological advance such as the Hubble Space Telescope， and computer generated images of three and four-dimensional realities. Detailed captions clarify these illustrations， enable readers to experience the vastness of intergalactic space， the nature of black holes， and the microcosmic world of particle physics in which matters and antimatter collide.

A classic work that now brings to the reader the latest understanding of cosmology， A Brief History Of Time is the story of the ongoing search for t he tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.

精彩书评

"He can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit—His is a brain of extraordinary power."—New York Review of Books

"Hawking has succeeded in writing two intertwined books， one a highly readable and popular account of the role of time in physics， the other an in-depth review—What makes all this so interesting is Hawking's ability to convoy the essential physics in words alone."—Physics Today

"In his first work of popular science， Stephen Hawking proves himself to be a master of vivid clarity—It's difficult to think of anyone else living who could have put these mathematically formidable subjects more clearly."—Chicago Tribune

"A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way."—Wall Street journal

"This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind."—Sunday Times， London

"The famous theoretical physicist best known for his inquiries into the nature of black holes—turns out to be as skilled a popular writer as he is a mathematician—The result is probably the best single book on astrophysics for the common reader. Thank you， Dr. Hawking!"—Booklist

"Lively and provocative—Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gift—easy， good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life."—New York Times

"Charming and lucid—gives the general reader an opportunity to learn some deep science directly from the source—[A book of] sunny brilliance."—New Yorker

作为普通老百姓也有机会看到霍金的黑洞最新研究成果，挺好的

作者成功地把妙趣横生的故事和对科学内容的阐述联姻，丝丝入扣，不露痕迹。故事讲完了，科学现象的画面变得清晰，而其中又真切地交融了科学家在探索过程中所显示的无与伦比的睿智和坚韧不拔的努力。作者在最后一章关于意识问题的讨论时，动情地描述了克里克（1962年诺奖得主）沉疴罹身，仍然孜孜不倦地钻研意识研究的重要问题，并且发表了不少真知灼见，展现了一位伟大科学家对科学的献身精神。好书，认真读。
