getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.

Stephen Hawking's first edition of this book came out in 1988. It sold more than 10 million copies, but you might hesitate to try reading it, given the book's universal ambition. Now, you can pick up this abbreviated, accessible revision with pleasure and anticipation. Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow smoothly explain the most profound questions about the physical world. They illustrate their points with brief stories, analogies and a cluster of images. The result is a compressed introduction to science, physics and cosmology, with sketches of key historical points. Even with clear explanations, the conceptual density can be challenging. Still, it's the best explanation out there. getAbstract recommends this highly readable tour through the universe's most compelling mysteries.
