內容簡介
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.

精彩書評
"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

我是我們村裏第一個在網上買東西的,這裏大部分人都是不網購的,他們買價格一般都不會超過2塊。當聽說我網上買東西之後,整個村都震驚瞭,村長跑到我傢對我爸說是不是瘋瞭。媳婦跟我鬧離婚,這日子沒法過瞭。麵對著重重壓力,我依然堅持要買,我相信我這個月的工資不會白花。終於快遞到瞭,我懷揣著激動的心情,顫抖著手打開包裹,那一刹那,感覺我的眼睛要閃瞎瞭! 啊,這顔色,這手感,隻恨我讀書少無法用華麗的詞藻形容它。我舉著它驕傲的站在村口,頓時整個村沸騰瞭,更有人喊,我不給她]摸,她們就跳井。就連村花都紅著臉要跟我迴傢,看著隔壁老王殺人的目光,纔想起這是他花瞭一麻袋瓜換來的老婆。嚇得我趕緊收起寶貝,擠齣人群落荒而逃。為測試寶貝的效果,我立刻去我們村高達100多平方的村長傢客廳裏去用。用完後,在全村人羨慕的目光中昂首挺胸的揚長而去。村長老婆送我齣去還多看我兩眼,我也不知道是什麼意思。
