"Brief History of Time" and "Universe in a Nutshell"

WHILE  AWAY  VISITING  MY  DAD  I  PICKED  UP  THE  "TWO BOOKS IN ONE"  DEAL - THE  ABOVE  TWO  BOOKS  BY  THE  HIGHLY  ACCLAIMED  STEPHEN  HAWKING.

THE BOOK  "BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME"  NOW COMES WITH ALL KINDS OF ILLUSTRATIONS.

WHAT  SOME  HAVE  SAID  ABOUT  "BRIEF  HISTORY  OF  TIME"

"Lively and provocative.... Hawking clearly possesses a natural teacher's gifts - easy, good-natured humor and an ability to illustrate highly complex propositions with analogies plucked from daily life." - The New York Times

"Charming and lucid.... gives the general reader an opportunity to learn some deep science directly from the source." - The New Yorker

"In his first work of popular science, Stephen Hawking proves himself to be a master of vivid clarity.... It's difficult to think of anyone else living who could have put these mathematically formidable subjects more clearly." - Chicago Tribune

"This book marries a child's wonder to a genius's intellect. We journey into Hawking's universe while marvelling at his mind." - The Sunday Times (London)

FOR  "THE UNIVERSE IN A NUTSHELL"  SOME  HAVE  SAID:

"Hawking's obvious delight in the universe makes him a delight to read." - Los Angeles Times

"A mind-bending gorgeous volume.... Offers something to the reader without a strong science background as well as to those of a more technical bent." - The Denver Post

"Rigorous and comprehensible.... [We] can learn plenty about these seemingly daunting topics and have a lot of fun at the same time." - Time

"Crystal-clear exposition and informative graphics.... a stellar introduction to some of the best ideas in physics." - science News

"Straight talk of the nature of science and the universe.... Dr. Hawking is a genius." - The New York Times

I'VE  BEEN  MAKING  MY  WAY  THROUGH  THE  FIRST  BOOK  -  THE  BEST  I  CAN  FOR  IT  DOES  BLOW  THE  MIND.  THE  MANY  ILLUSTRATIONS  ARE  A  GREAT  HELP.  THE  HISTORY  OF  HOW  THINGS  ABOUT  THINGS  WERE  DISCOVERED  IS  IN  ITSELF  WORTH  READING.

IN  BRINGS  OUT  SOME  OF  THE  MIND  OF  GOD  WHO  CREATED  ALL  THAT  MAN  HAS  DISCOVERED  SO  FAR  TO  DO  WITH  MATTER  AND  TIME  AND  SPACE.

A  BOOK  -  THE  TWO  BOOKS  IN  ONE  -  IS  A  MUST  FOR  YOUR  HOME  LIBRARY.
