Breve historia del tiempo
The interviews contained in this volume reveal the person behind his theoretical and scientific ivory tower. His mother and sister recount what his youth was like and how he came to be who he is. His fellow students from Oxford and Cambridge's School of Physics remember him as a young man with evident talent and very little tolerance for conventional studies. His scientific colleagues describe the ideas that shaped his theoretical work and the majesty of the concepts he developed. Finally, the author's own opinions appear. Supplemented with meticulous biographical notes on each participant and with explanatory passages that expand on scientific ideas, illustrated with photographs and graphics that illuminate scientific concepts—including black holes and the arrow of time—this work is an extraordinary oral history, a fascinating portrait of one of the 20th century's most brilliant minds. A classic and essential work of our time that has been translated into more than thirty languages and has sold more than five million copies. |
