About this title: Although hordes of people rushed to buy genius physicist Stephen Hawking's book, A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, very few of them actually understood it. Seventeen years later, Hawking, this time aided by a co-author, takes a second, and hopefully easier-to-understand, crack at explaining to the layperson how the most recent theories in astronomy and ...

"A very interesting book, now in a form that most people can understand.
If your interested in science, space or even just how things work, this is a good read. I would recomment you only read a chapter at a time though as they can be technical.
Near the end as the concepts got more sophisticated I did have to re-read some paragraphs a few times to understand fully, but this did not put me off finishing thr book."
"a clear, concise history of the development of the idea of time and timespace. this book is written at a collegiate level, but is a highly accessible read in that it is written with the utmost clarity and gives muc insight and background into the complex ideas that it details. it builds on the ideas from one to another in order for the reader to grasp first the basic principle and then advances into new territory. i found it to be a very interesting and quick read. highly recommended."
"Very readable, and I was actually surprised to realize I'd learned most of this information in an astronomy class I took in college. Who knew I was this educated?
The end of the book, where Hawking discusses the theories that scientists are currently trying to prove, started getting to be a bit above my head - in my lay opinion, I think it was a combination of Hawking getting a bit more vague and having fewer concrete facts and observations to state."
