HAWKING (Stephen).
A Brief History of Time. From the Big Bang to Black Holes.
One of the most important scientific works of the second half of the 20th century and a masterpiece of scientific popularization. Hawking set out to write this book to help ‘non-scientists’ understand the basic questions of physics: ‘where did the universe come from? How and why did it begin? Will it come to an end, and if so, how?’ He was warned before publishing that each equation included in the book would half the readership, and so he kept only one; Einstein’s famous equation, E = mc [squared].
An excellent copy, contents clean and unmarked, only minor creasing to extremities of jacket.
