I bought this book at a great deal, and it arrived and was in wonderful condition. Perfect.
nothing wrong with it. A great book, and a great price! Thank you! a late review, but it was a great savings and I would buy again!
and since its a re-edit version ("briefer history of time") it's a whole lot easier to understand for those that don't hold a doctorate degree in physics! Like me!

This is a wonderful book -- I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it. Now I'm going to get the "more difficult" previous version, A Brief History of Time, and can refer back and forth. Stephen Hawking's tv specials are exciting to watch; they're on PBS from time to time.

While this book is shorter and more entertaining than its not-as-brief predecessor, I found it still unable to make the very esoteric subjects of space-time curvature, quantum mechanics and the behavior of sub-atomic particles understandable to me (MS Computer Science). Hawking clearly has a great sense of humor, and his effort to explain some of the results of his life's work to the general public is laudable, but this book failed to do that, at least for this reader.

Excellent presentation of complex scientific theories. Stephen Hawking knows how to extract core principals and shape them into digestible morsels for his readers to consume and enjoy. The material is an update from his earlier Brief History of Time, and has the same cast of characters.
If only he wrote fiction!

Even briefer, this material requires a few readings to wrap the brain around. Very good examples though.
