Stephen Hawking
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking’s book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.

"This is a non-fiction book about black holes, stars, Big Bang Theory. Everyone should read this book but let me warn you, its not for everybody. It was one difficult book to read. "

"Really good read for anyone who is interested in knowing more about our universe and laws that bind it. Doesn’t need to be someone with prior knowledge of physics to read this book. If you find anything that you don’t understand you can just google it. "

"This was an excellent book ! Hawking writes in a way that makes it easy to grasp complex ideas. Although individuals who have an inclination towards physics and astronomy might get the most out of it, I still highly recommend it to all! It is extremely thought provoking , which is why it was not a fast read for me personally, but I think that's the point! "
