Space-time Bible
Originally published in 1988, A Brief History Of Time was a bestseller and a seminal work of scientific writing. Many of Hawking’s observations have since been confirmed, like the discoveries of the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite (COBE). The famed physicist wrote a new introduction and chapter on wormholes and time travel, and the illustrations and Hubble Space Telescope photographs help enhance comprehension of the ineffable, like the vastness of intergalactic space and the nature of black holes. A must-read for any space lover.
