国内外最为畅销的科普经典作品，世界最伟大的思想家、宇宙学家之一史蒂芬霍金的经典著作集合，当当独家火热发售中！

向与疾病顽强斗争的科学斗士、令人崇敬的科学家致敬！

史蒂芬·霍金的《时间简史》自1988年首版以来的岁月里，已成为全球科学著作的里程碑。它被翻译成40种文字，销售了近1000万册，成为国际出版史上的奇观。

为了把许多观测揭示的新知识，以及他**的研究纳入该书。霍金教授为这一增订版准备了新的前言，全面更新了原书的内容，而且还新增加了一章，有关虫洞和时间旅行的激动人心的课题。
尽管霍金教授的著述极为清晰而机智，有些读者仍然觉得难以掌握复杂的概念。为了使读者加深理解，本版还增加了240多幅彩色插图，包括卫星图像和照片。这些都应归功于诸如哈勃空间望远镜和电脑三维和四维实体成像等技术进步之赐。详细的插图说明使读者能体验到星系际太空的广漠、黑洞的奇妙性质以及物质和反物质碰撞的粒子物理的微观世界。
作为一本飨以读者宇宙学理解的经典著作，《时间简史》插图本是探索时间和空间核心秘密的引人入胜的故事。

内容简介

史蒂芬·霍金生于1942年，他的生日恰好与伽利略去世的纪念日是同一天。他现任剑桥大学卢卡斯数学系教授教席（这一职位曾由艾萨克·牛顿担任）。他被誉为继爱因斯坦后*杰出的理论物理学家。他于1993年出版了《霍金讲演录——黑洞、婴儿宇宙及其他》。这本书是理论物理学方面的经典著作，其中的内容已被许多科学论文和书籍引用。

《无人区》导演宁浩：我一直在看《时间简史》的书

In the years since its publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History Of Time has established itself as a landmark volume in scientific writing. It has become an international publishing phenomenon, translated into forty languages and selling over nine million copies. The book was on the cutting edge of what was then known about the nature of the universe, but since that time there have been extraordinary advances in the technology of macrocosmic worlds. These observations have confirmed many of Professor Hawkin's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his book, including the recent discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE), which probed back in time to within 300,000 years of the fabric of space-time that he had projected.

Eager to bring to his original text the new knowledge revealed by these many observations, as well as his recent research, for this expanded edition Professor Hawking has prepared a new introduction to the book, written an entirely new chapter on the fascinating subject of wormholes and time travel, and updated the original chapters.

In addition, to heighten understanding of complex concepts that readers may have found difficult to grasp despite the clarity and wit of Professor Hawking's writing, this edition is enhanced throughout with more than 240 full-color illustrations, including satellite images, photographs made made possible by spectacular technological advance such as the Hubble Space Telescope, and computer generated images of three and four-dimensional realities. Detailed captions clarify these illustrations, enable readers to experience the vastness of intergalactic space, the nature of black holes, and the microcosmic world of particle physics in which matters and antimatter collide.

A classic work that now brings to the reader the latest understanding of cosmology, A Brief History Of Time is the story of the ongoing search for t he tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space.

Review

"He can explain the complexities of cosmological physics with an engaging combination of clarity and wit—His is a brain of extraordinary power."—New York Review of Books

"Hawking has succeeded in writing two intertwined books, one a highly readable and popular account of the role of time in physics, the other an in-depth review—What makes all this so interesting is Hawking's ability to convoy the essential physics in words alone."—Physics Today

"In his first work of popular science, Stephen Hawking proves himself to be a master of vivid clarity—It's difficult to think of anyone else living who could have put these mathematically formidable subjects more clearly."—Chicago Tribune

"A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way."—Wall Street journal

"This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind."—Sunday Times, London

"The famous theoretical physicist best known for his inquiries into the nature of black holes—turns out to be as skilled a popular writer as he is a mathematician—The result is probably the best single book on astrophysics for the common reader. Thank you, Dr. Hawking!"—Booklist

"Lively and provocative—Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gift—easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life."—New York Times

"Charming and lucid—gives the general reader an opportunity to learn some deep science directly from the source—[A book of] sunny brilliance."—New Yorker
