The Theory of Everything

Hawking takes readers on a fascinating journey through the telescopic lens of modern physics to gain a new glimpse of the universe—the nature of black holes, the space-time continuum, and new information about the origin of the universe.

Stephen Hawking made black holes palatable for the masses with his 1988 book A Brief History of Time, which had The New York Times pointing out that he is bravely taking some of the first, though tentative, steps toward quantizing the early universe.
