  <default_description>Readers worldwide have come to know the work of&#160;&#160;Stephen Hawking through his phenomenal million-copy&#160;&#160;hardcover best-seller &lt;i&gt;A Brief History of Time&lt;/i&gt;. Bantam is proud to present the&#160;&#160;paperback edition of Dr. Hawking's first new book&#160;&#160;since that event, a collection of fascinating and&#160;&#160;illuminating essays, and a remarkable interview&#160;&#160;broadcast by the BBC on Christmas Day, 1992. These&#160;&#160;fourteen pieces reveal Hawking variously as the&#160;&#160;scientist, the man, the concerned world citizen,&#160;&#160;and-always-the rigorous and imaginative thinker.&#160;&#160;Hawking's wit, directness of style, and absence of pomp&#160;&#160;characterize all of them, whether he is&#160;&#160;remembering his first experience at nursery school; calling&#160;&#160;for adequate education in science that will enable&#160;&#160;the public to play its part in making informed&#160;&#160;decisions on matters such as nuclear disarmament;&#160;&#160;exploring the origins of the future of the universe;&#160;&#160;or reflecting on the history of &lt;i&gt;A Brief&#160;&#160;History of Time. Black Holes and Baby Universes&lt;/i&gt; is an important work from&#160;&#160;one of the greatest minds of the twentieth&#160;&#160;century.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It's been a while since I read this one.  Most essays were accessible as I recall.  Some were a challenge.  A good book, but I preferred his earlier work, <em> A Brief History of Time.</em>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not nearly as easy to read as A Brief History of Time, and a little disjointed as well.  Probably since it is more a collection of essays instead of an actual book.  ]]></body>
