[NEW ARRIVALS] My Brief History
PUBLISHER: Bantam
PRICE: $22
GENRE: Professional Science
Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of best-sellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution.
“My Brief History” recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty and candid account introduces a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: The inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed Einstein; the jokester who once bet a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology.
