Stunningly repackaged edition of the international bestseller
Stephen Hawking held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, the chair held by Isaac Newton in 1663, for thirty years. Professor Hawking is now Director of Research for the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. He has over a dozen honorary degrees, and was awarded the Companion of Honour in 1989. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Science. His books include the bestselling Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, The Universe in a Nutshell, and A Briefer History of Time. His most recent book, The Grand Design, was a Sunday Times bestseller. Stephen Hawking is regarded as one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists since Einstein. He lives in Cambridge.
This app/book version of Hawking's famous laymen book is just an
amazing piece of learning. This makes much more accessible and
understandable the complex and awesome topics dealt by Hawking as
he explains how our universe works. I am just in awe at how
creative he is to produce one of a kind e-book like this. The pace,
illustrations and connections of topics within the book are so
helpful and so appropriate for the new generation used to tweets
and small bites of information. You can flip over some topics when
you have some time, learn some amazing fact, and come back later
which no rush or worry about how fast you are progressing through
the book. Hope other books on complex topics are translated to this
format. And I love the updates of the latest science since the
publication of the original book. We have learned so much in the
last decade that I agree with Hawking, it is an honour to live in
this times.
