Synopsis
Although hordes of people rushed to buy genius physicist Stephen Hawking's book, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, very few of them actually understood it. Seventeen years later, Hawking, this time aided by a co-author, takes a second, and hopefully easier-to-understand, crack at explaining to the layperson how the most recent theories in astronomy and physics expand our knowledge about the nature of the universe.

Industry Reviews
"[It] may be the clearest introduction to physics ever, and not just because it eschews equations, though that helps....[T]he developmental portrait--a biography, if you will--of a dynamic cosmos....Like the best biographies, it's an utterly engrossing read."
Booklist (07/31/2005)
"Hawking and Mlodinow provide one of the most lucid discussions of this complex topic ever written for a general audience....Throughout these discussions, the authors maintain the same wry, lively tone that made the original BRIEF HISTORY such a delight....Highly recommended." (starred review)
