<p><b>FROM ONE OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS OF OUR TIME COMES A BOOK THAT CLARIFIES HIS MOST IMPORTANT IDEAS</b><br> <b> </b><br> Stephen Hawking’s worldwide bestseller <i>A Brief History of Time</i> remains a landmark volume in scientific writing.

Thirty-seven full-color illustrations enhance the text and make <i>A Briefer History of Time</i> an exhilarating and must-have addition in its own right to the great literature of science and ideas.</p>
