Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years. He is the author of several books, including the worldwide publishing phenomenon A Brief History of Time, A Briefer History of Time (written with Leonard Mlodinow), The Universe in a Nutshell, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time, and the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes.
My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology.
Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time—one of the iconic books of the twentieth century.
Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking’s personal cosmos.

霍金的《我的簡史》,一如書名所言,是將其廣袤復雜的思想與光芒四射的一生濃縮在瞭薄薄的128頁、不足6萬字的字裏行間。“簡”,是該書裝幀設計上的特點:黑色的封麵、黑色的插頁與穿插在其中的珍貴的黑白照片,同時也錶明這是濃縮的曆史中的浮光掠影。在這些光影中,霍金對他...
評分我們去讀一個人的自傳,不外乎有三個原因:這個人是名人,我們想知道他為什麼齣名;這個人有吸引我們的地方,激發瞭我們的窺視欲;我們不懂這個人或者這個人的工作,希望在自傳裏能夠更加瞭解。 以《時間簡史》聞名的霍金齣版瞭自傳《我的簡史》。基於上麵的三個原因,這本設...
評分可能我們每個人看到的關於霍金的描述裏都會提到他隻能動X根手指…… 然後被深深地打臉瞭。 我不明白,為什麼提到霍金,不管是對他的介紹還是對他的書的評論,都總要提到XXXXX病,X根手指。 他是一位科學傢,頭號興趣和最大驕傲都是科學,人們是不是也應該,比他的疾病更多地關...
評分在這部作品中,霍金講述瞭自己從在倫敦和聖奧爾本斯的成長經曆,同時闡述他最新對於時間開端和宇宙進化的研究。書中的語言比較平時簡練,關於宇宙方麵的知識大部分都以很簡練的方式進行瞭錶述,比起那本被人稱為--看懂、看不懂都是收獲的《時間簡史》來說,這無疑是霍金這個思考...
評分幽浮與不可能的穿越 ——《我的簡史》讀書筆記 霍金當之無愧是“現存”的最偉大的物理學傢,沒有之一。他的成就往往因為他的身體狀況而加速放大,然而他所研究的那些“不明覺厲”的科學理論,正如他自己所說,由於自己的理論現在還無法被實驗證...

“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death, it makes you realize that life is worth living and that there are lots of things you want to do.”
