Understanding 9/11x, 198 pages : 24 cm
A Brief History of Time, published in 1988, was a landmark volume in science writing and in world-wide acclaim and popularity, with more than 9 million copies in print globally. The original edition was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and nature of the universe. But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the macrocosmic world--observations that have confirmed many of Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book. Now a decade later, this edition updates the chapters throughout to document those advances, and also includes an entirely new chapter on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction. It make vividly clear why A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the universe

Atleast please keep these types or all books for free. Everyone can't afford that much to buy them, even like deliberately to read it.

Subject: Time for the Layman
Subject: Time for the Layman
A book written by Stephen Hawking explaining complex physics concepts to the laymen. Scarce use of any science formulae is kept in mind so as not to intimidate the laymen. The result is a phenomenal success in the sales of this book. I, with a science background, read through the book thinking it would be a breezy walk in the park. Despite the genuine efforts by the author, I find it hard to grasp the abstract and bizarre ideas brought forth in quite many parts of the book. I fail to understand how any layman can follow the explanations. But then why they purchased the book? Fair to mention here certain complex parts where I succeed in understanding after a few attempts. Like the German philosopher Immanuel Kant treatment on the beginning of time. Like the chapter on the Arrow of Time. Intriguing and mind stimulating upon getting the idea. Thanks Prof. Hawking!
