Its author's engaging voice is one reason, and the compelling subjects he addresses is another: the nature of space and time, the role of God in creation, the history and future of the universe. But it is also true that in the years since its publication, readers have repeatedly told Professor Hawking of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. This is the origin of and the reason for A Briefer History of Time: its author's wish to make its content accessible to readers - as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. Although this book is literally somewhat 'briefer', it actually expands on the great subjects of the original. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that were difficult to follow because they were interspersed throughout the book have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of special interest and recent progress, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics. Like prior editions of the book-but even more so - A Briefer History of Time will guide nonscientists everywhere in the ongoing search for the tantalizing secrets at the heart of time and space. Thirty-eight full-colour illustrations enhance the text and make A Briefer History of Time an exhilarating addition in its own right to the literature of science. Review: Wow, mysteries made accessible - I left school a few weeks before my 16th birthday, with no qualifications. I have always been a reader though and made my way to university in my 30s. I have never studied physics though but of course I am interested in the how and why of existence, partly because of my religious beliefs. This book is wonderful, it opens up questions that have been partially answered and discovered more to be asked. I would love to see what resolutions will come on the future, but we need another Stephen Hawking to move that forward, but, more importantly, to keep the ordinary people engaged and excited. Review: pretty accessible introduction to some mind-boggling stuff - As its name suggests, this is a shorter, and less technical, version of the great scientist's most famous work, which I have read to mark his recent passing. It covers in fairly crisp form the main historical developments in our understanding of the history of the universe, and the nature of time and space, and sub-atomic physics. In places, it still got a bit too technical for a lay reader like me, but for the most part offered a fairly easily digestible summary of some mind-blowing theories and chains of reasoning. This is mind-expanding stuff, that puts our concerns on planet Earth into a unique perspective. The diagrams I thought were not very good, though. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 16,865 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 667 in Scientific, Technical & Medical | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 2,495 Reviews | ## Images ![A Briefer History of Time: Stephen Hawking - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71iVu7Ydo1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, mysteries made accessible *by K***R on 29 October 2020* I left school a few weeks before my 16th birthday, with no qualifications.

I tried reading the original but this one is easier to read. Highly recommend if you are into physics on a rudimentary level. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow - Paperback - John Murray Publishers Ltd Brief Answers To The Big Questions: The Final Book From Stephen Hawking - A Brief History Of Time by Stephen Hawking - Paperback --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/49995567-a-briefer-history-of-time-stephen-hawking](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/49995567-a-briefer-history-of-time-stephen-hawking) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-08-29*
