Review Quote* | "[Hawking] sprinkles his explanations with a wry sense of humor and a keen awareness that the sciences today delve not only into the far reaches of the cosmos, but into the inner philosophical world as well."-New York Times Book Review "Succinct, illuminating, and-considering the inherently baffling nature of contemporary cosmology-remarkably easy to read."-The Wall Street Journal "A second chance at enlightenment . . . [Hawking] deftly unravels . . . complex matters in simple, lay language. . . . Very readable."-San Francisco Chronicle |
