史蒂芬·霍金(Stephen Hawking, 1942- ),現任劍橋大學盧卡斯數學教授。他廣被推崇為繼愛因斯坦後最傑齣的理論物理學傢。霍金的主要著作有《時間簡史》、《霍金講演錄——黑洞、嬰兒宇宙及其他》和《果殼中的宇宙》。
Stephen Hawking's worldwide bestseller, "A Brief History of Time", has been a landmark volume in scientific writing. Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, and the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for "A Briefer History of Time": its author's wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. Although this book is literally somewhat 'briefer', it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics. Like prior editions of the book - but even more so - "A Briefer History of Time" will guide non scientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. Thirty-eight full-color illustrations enhance the text and make "A Briefer History of Time" an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

全書涉及經典力學、電磁力學、相對論、量子力學、弦論等多個方麵,對宇宙時空做瞭概括精要的解釋,堪為現代物理的入門科普書籍。 在犧牲準確性及深度的前提下,全書通篇使用語句描述而隻齣現瞭一個方程式。遺憾的是,由於翻譯中文水平欠佳(也許他有自己的方式,不過乏味呆闆是...
評分初中時候看瞭第一推動叢書翻譯的版本,很薄的一本書。那時看到第30頁的時候看不下去瞭,理由很簡單,突然看不懂瞭。為什麼說突然呢,因為在看到全書的第二張圖和相應的文字利用衛星的脈衝和月亮對其反衝的事件講解相對論的時候,我完全不知道霍金想錶達什麼。無數次的重復閱讀...
評分 評分我在想如果霍金是個正常人的話,這本書會不會還有這麼多人買。買這本書的人估計是衝著霍金而不是書的內容買的。為什麼這麼說呢?宇宙學的科普書籍,有比這本更好的書。 本身這本書的翻譯就有問題,在這樣的基礎上,居然還有這麼多人寫些歌功頌德的書評,我懷疑寫這些東西的...
評分前幾天和朋友聊天,我說現在這個時代就是沒有力量,沒有大哥,隻有妖孽。朋友說或許有大哥我們不知道,也許是吧,不過從科學上來講,這個大哥的存在還沒有被我觀測到,所以,既無法證實,也無法證僞。妖孽的存在倒是隨處可見。 經常性地被一種無邊無際的荒謬感擊中,反復擊中...

中國教育不該分文理的。
評分非常好的科普書籍,把相對論以及有關宇宙、時間、等等若乾問題用易懂的文字描寫齣來。幾乎沒有方程式推導。
評分確實寫得簡單易懂,前麵部分基本沒有問題,但後麵部分即使看懂瞭字,也有點難以理解,悲哀啊。另外,瞭解到瞭牛頓和愛因斯坦以前我所不知道的事。
評分中國教育不該分文理的。
評分jumped into the analysis of language,i did forget the tradition of philosophy from aristotle to kant... go "Taikon"!
