520 _aHawking presents a series of seven lectures - covering everything from a big bank to black holes to string theory - that capture not only the brilliance of Hawking’s mind but his characteristic wit as well. Of his research on black holes, which absorbed him for more than a decade he says," it might seem a bit like looking for a black cat in a coal cellar." A great populariser of science as well as a brilliant scientist, Hawking believes that advances in theoretical science should be "understandable in broad principals by everyone, not just a few scientists". In this book he offers a fascinating voyage of discovery about the cosmos and our place in it. It is a book for anyone who has ever gazed at the night sky and wondered what was up there and how it came to be.
