And proceeded to give me a very sweet and stunningly accurate lecture on ...             On The Shoulders Of Giants16 reviews Stephen Hawking Running Press, 2003 A Promethean Bible "On the Shoulders of Giants" is a powerful book.

In that sense it is quite revelatory, i.e., a "Promethean Bible" of sorts. And each of these ...             The Universe in a Nutshell181 reviews Stephen William Hawking Bantam, 2001 Accessible Reading Coupled With Humor and Illustrations On the cover of Stephen Hawking's The Universe in a Nutshell you can find, surprise, a picture of the universe in a nutshell.

Centuries old. But noteworthy because before Newton came on the scene, Kepler's work was one of the high water marks of astronomy. Plus, the material in the book was useful to Newton, when he would apply his equations to explaining various of Kepler's observations. Plus, another attraction of this book is the introduction by ...             Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays42 reviews Stephen W. Hawking Bantam, 1994 A great scientist explains his work and his life This book consists in two distinct parts. In one Hawking talks about his life, and in the other about his major areas of interest in his researches. Both parts of the work are written in clear and understandable language, though I admit that when he talks about black holes, singularities, and the real heart of his work my own lack of understanding and knowledge prevents me from feeling I really ...             The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe40 reviews Stephen Hawking Phoenix Books, 2007 Even if it is unofficial... Even if this product is unofficial, and unsanctioned by Stephen Hawking himself, I have to say I enjoyed it.

Copernicus would be proud.             Principia (On the Shoulders of Giants)4 reviews Sir Isaac Newton Running Press, 2005 This is a key masterpiece in the history of Science. I bought this book not for the purpose of learning Classical Mechanics from it, but for the scientific curiosity of learning how the great Isaac Newton presented his revolutionary scientific ideas to the world. Of course, it is difficult to read. This is an old translation of a book written in Latin more than 300 years ago! This book is a jewel. Just like the original works of Einstein, Maxwell, ...             A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes23 reviews Stephen W.
