Вселенная Стивена Хокинга
Под этой обложкой собраны работы Стивена Хокинга, самого известного астрофизика современности, которые дают наиболее полное представление о его жизни, работе, взглядах на науку и Вселенную: «Краткая история времени», «Моя краткая история» и отдельные лекции из сборника «Черные дыры и молодые вселенные».
Ставшая научно‑популярной классикой «Краткая история» знакомит с главными теориями происхождения и эволюции нашей Вселенной; объясняет, как связаны пространство и время; толкует феномен черных дыр и дает прогноз о возможности путешествий во времени. В избранных эссе автор рассуждает о природе] реальности и своей позиции в науке. Об учебе, карьере и семейной жизни Стивен Хокинг рассказал в откровенной автобиографии, которую дополняет расшифровка интервью, записанного на радио BBC.

About the author
Stephen W. Hawking
180 books12.8k followersStephen William Hawking was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge. Between 1979 and 2009, he was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, widely viewed as one of the most prestigious academic posts in the world.
Hawking was born in Oxford into a family of physicians. In October 1959, at the age of 17, he began his university education at University College, Oxford, where he received a first-class BA degree in physics. In October 1962, he began his graduate work at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where, in March 1966, he obtained his PhD degree in applied mathematics and theoretical physics, specialising in general relativity and cosmology. In 1963, at age 21, Hawking was diagnosed with an early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that gradually, over decades, paralysed him. After the loss of his speech, he communicated through a speech-generating device initially through use of a handheld switch, and eventually by using a single cheek muscle.
Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity, and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Initially, Hawking radiation was controversial. By the late 1970s, and following the publication of further research, the discovery was widely accepted as a major breakthrough in theoretical physics. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Hawking achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discussed his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2002, Hawking was ranked number 25 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. He died in 2018 at the age of 76, having lived more than 50 years following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease.

К автору претензий нет, киниги Хокинга очень люблю читать! Но, мне кажется, это не совсем правильно - в одном сборнике размещать две книги практически с одинаковым содержанием...

Книга очень понравилась, но я ничего не понял

Շատ հարմար գիրք Հոքինգի աշխատություններին ու կյանքին ծանոթանալու համար
Սա ծաղկաքաղ է Հոքինգի հիմնական գրքերից: Եթե չեք ուզում առանձին-առանձին կարդալ գրքերը, կարող եմ միայն այս մեկը կարդալ, ու բավական լավ պատկերացում կունենաք հեղինակի և նրա աշխատությունների մասին:
Ներառում է Հոքինգի ամենահայտնի գիրքը՝ «Краткая история времениКраткая история времени, ինչպես նաև Черные дыры и молодые вселенные հոդվածների ու էսսեների հավաքածուն և ինքնակենսագրությունը՝ Моя краткая история: Եթե չեք ուզում ուղնուծուծով ճանաչել հեղինակին, այս գիրքը ավելի քան բավական է:

Reeeaally good. Like I feel my brain is expanding good. Hawking was a funny guy. The book wasn't boring at all.
I am not sure why they compiled those three books in one edition, though, because the last book is like.... A condensed and shortened version of the first book? But I am not taking off the points for that.
