Book Review - A Briefer History of Time

Sunday December 14, 2008
One of the best-selling popular science books of all time (probably the best-selling one) was Stephen Hawking's 1988 classic A Brief History of Time, which I read in middle school and which helped to inspire me - along with the science fiction and non-fiction of Isaac Asimov - to pursue my two passions of writing and science.

It's my privilege and honor to finally review A Briefer History of Time by Dr. Stephen Hawking with Leonard Mlodinow, in which Hawking takes the topics of the original book, streamlines them, and presents them for a new generation of science novices.
