A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

From the Publisher:

A Brief History of Time, published in 1988, was a landmark volume
in
science writing and in world-wide acclaim and popularity, with more
than 9 million copies in print globally. The original edition was
on
the cutting edge of what was then known about the origins and
nature
of the universe. But the ensuing years have seen extraordinary
advances in the technology of observing both the micro- and the
macrocosmic world--observations that have confirmed many of
Hawking's theoretical predictions in the first edition of his
book.

Now a decade later, this edition updates the chapters throughout to
document those advances, and also includes an entirely new chapter
on Wormholes and Time Travel and a new introduction. It make
vividly
clear why A Brief History of Time has transformed our view of the
universe.
