Black holes and baby universes and other essays
Readers worldwide have come to know the work of Stephen Hawking through his phenomenal bestseller 'A brief history of time'. Now in his first collection of essays and other pieces, on subjects that range from warmly personal to the wholly scientific, Stephen Hawking is revealed variously as the scientist, the man, the concerned world citizen, and, as always, the rigorous and imaginative thinker.
Whether he is remembering his first experience of nursery school, puncturing the arrogance of those who think science can best be understood only by other scientists and should be left to them, exploring the origins and the future of the universe, or reflecting on the phenomenon of 'A brief history of time'; Stephen's wit, directness of style and absence of pomp are vital characteristics at all times.
