About the Book: The Illustrated Brief History of Time
This is Stephen Hawkings updated, expanded and illustrated edition of his
celebrated work which includes the most recent developments in the field, many
of which were forecast by him. At the same time, he explains his complex
theories through a fresh visual dimension. Over one hundred and fifty stunning
colour illustrations have been specially commissioned for this purpose to help
the reader understand what have become popular mythic images of our century, but
which nonetheless remain difficult, abstract ideas to grasp. It includes a new
introduction written specially for this edition.
