Review
A Brief History of Time has now sold an estimated nine million copies worldwide – something of a hard act for its author to follow. In what is being promoted as the ‘sequel’ to that book, Professor Hawking gives an account of his attempt to combine Einstein’s Theory of Relativity with Richard Feynman’s idea of multiple histories, in order to reach the grail of a Theory of Everything – or big TOE, as it’s charmingly named. This is a book about superstrings and p-branes, holography and supergravity, about how the ‘cosmic seed’ from which our universe derived was as small as a nut. The publishers are not yet releasing much text, but enough to see that it will be a fascinating (if challenging) read. And one enhanced throughout with 200 striking full colour illustrations and jazzed-up diagrams.

A book with a better way of representation but rather demanded a more complex theory.

Great book!A really nice book. Detailed illustrations help to process the information. It probably requires some understanding of cosmology before reading, as some of the concepts might be a bit hard to grasp for an unprepared mind.
