A Brief History of Time -- Stephen Hawking

<p>#1 <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER <p/>A landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking's book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin--and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending--or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends? <p/>Told in language we all can understand, <i>A Brief History of Time</i> plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and "arrows of time," of the big bang and a bigger God--where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected. With exciting images and profound imagination, Stephen Hawking brings us closer to the ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Stephen Hawking<br><b>Publisher:</b> Bantam<br><b>Published:</b> 09/01/1998<br><b>Pages:</b> 240<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780553380163<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 10.5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 13<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>157417 / Brief History of Time<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Books & Culture</i> 09/01/2007 pg. 20<br><i>Science</i> 12/01/2009 pg. 1347<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Stephen Hawking</b> was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and the re
