Title : A Brief History of Time, from the Big Bang to Black Holes - Stephen William Hawking - book

Summary :

Stephen Hawking is universally recognized as one of the greatest cosmologists of our time and one of the most brilliant physicists since Einstein. A successor to Newton, he holds the Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge University and is famous for his work on the origins of the Universe. A Brief History of Time is the first book he decided to write for the non-specialist. In it, he sets out, in simple and accessible language, the most recent developments in astrophysics concerning the nature of time and the world. Tracing the great theories of the cosmos, from Galileo and Newton to Einstein and Poincaré, recounting the final discoveries of space, explaining the nature of black holes, he then proposes to take up the greatest challenge of modern science: the search for a unitary theory combining and unifying general relativity and quantum mechanics.
