Stephen Hawking, The Universe in Nutshell: winner of the Aventis prize for science writing
The Universe in a Nutshell attempts to address the relative difficulty of Hawking's first foray into popular science - a Brief History of Time. The Universe in a Nutshell is full of beautifully prepared colour illustrations, and has a "tree-like" structure, so that readers can skip from chapter to chapter without losing the thread. Hawking pushes the frontiers of popular physics beyond relativity and quantum theory, past superstring theory and imaginary time, into a dizzying new world of M-theory and branes.
In The Universe in a Nutshell Stephen Hawking seeks "to combine Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Richard Feynman's idea of multiple histories into one complete unified theory that will describe everything that happens in the universe."
- The Universe in a Nutshell by Stephen Hawking is a must buy if you want the latest update on the Universe from the world's most famous, living theoretical astrophysicist.
