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.

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...
評分B201810聽霍金娓娓道來他的簡史,比《時間簡史》要容易太多瞭。斯人已逝,更能體會到他的偉大之處。他對科學研究的執著,以及從中獲得純粹的快樂,令人感動不已,值得人們思索:物質的需求是否過多, 思考的快樂是否太少。無論霍金的理論最終被證實與否,霍金都是不常湧現的智...
評分在《時間簡史》的衝擊波漸漸漾開的時刻,霍金本人自傳《我的簡史》浮齣水麵。同樣以“簡”呈現。但在極簡的背後是綿長的暗流,正如這本書的裝幀,黑色的封麵,黑色的插頁,再配以全書多幅黑白照片,凝重簡約,恰如一位科學傢素樸的樣貌。一本極簡的人生史,無論是內容還是...
評分P12 格丁根->一般翻成哥廷根 P75 保險杆->保險杠 P76 羅賓孫->羅賓遜 P79 棒球百科全書->闆球百科全書 不知是譯錯,還是霍金筆誤,他答應給《棒球百科全書》,因為難找纔給瞭《闆球百科全書》。 P91 一個人的話音-聲音 費恩曼->費曼,國內通常翻為費曼,之前在...
評分圖書標籤: 霍金自傳 傳記 英文原著 霍金 自傳 相對論 物理學傢 英國
一天的閱讀來懷念。一堆電子書裏翻齣這本,真是很簡潔,卻各方麵都涉及到瞭。還是不太能接受這是個有血肉之軀、有生命盡頭的凡人,可能是因為和他緊緊聯係的東西太浩繁遼遠瞭。What made the universe made you.
評分“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.”
評分因為最近霍金遺作的齣版,所以聽瞭這本自傳,兩個小時很短,真的是非常鼓舞人的一生。其實他最使人敬佩的,就是他始終未以病痛作為他的標誌(雖然大眾如此),而一旦他開始談論他的學術他的生活,你絲毫感覺不到病痛對他的影響。《時間簡史》是為瞭給女兒湊學費寫的,女兒後來也很棒。

評分A good book to know his life and the stunning archievement he has on the time and space research. After that I digged out the book " A brief history of time", and my memory was refreshed by the book. As he said, it's not a hard one to understand and it can be put to the airport bookstore. :)
