Books by Stephen Hawking

The final book from Professor Stephen Hawking, the bestselling author of A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME and arguably the most famous scientist of our age, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS is a profound, accessible and timely reflection on the biggest questions in science.

The illustrated edition of Stephen Hawking's classic work - this edition includes an appendix with updates made by Professor Hawking in 2016. In this edition, Professor Hawking explains his complex theories through a fresh visual dimension.

Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance. Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell, beautifully illustrated with original artwork commissioned for this project, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking.

Helps the reader understand the progression of mathematical thought, and the very foundations of technologies. This book includes landmark discoveries spanning 2500 years and representing the work of mathematicians such as Euclid, Georg Cantor, Kurt Godel, Augustin Cauchy, Bernard Riemann and Alan Turing.

Hvornår og hvordan opstod universet? Hvorfor er vi her? Hvorfor er der noget frem for ingenting? Hvad udgøres virkeligheden af? Hvordan tillader naturlovene væsener som os at eksistere? Og ikke mindst: Findes der bag universets mesterværk en styrende hånd – eller tilbyder videnskaben en helt anden forklaring?Dette er nogle af de spørgsmål, som Stephen Hawking og Leonard Mlodinow stiller og besvarer i denne storslåede og betagende bog. De fortæller om den nyeste videnskabelige tænkning og universets mysterier i et letforståeligt sprog med en ganske særlig blanding af jordnær humor og svimlende overblik.‘Mesterværket – bag om Hawkings univers’ er en kortfattet, overraskende og rigt illustreret guide til store opdagelser, som ændrer vores mest fasttømrede opfattelser og trossystemer – en bog som både oplyser og provokerer i sjælden grad.

George and his best friend, Annie have been selected as junior astronauts - part of a programme that trains up young people for a trip to Mars in the future. Mysterious space missions are happening in secret, and the astronaut training they're undertaking gets scarier and scarier .

En moderne klassiker, som har slået alle udgivelsesrekorder med 237 uger på bestsellerlisten. ”Denne bog er en forening af et barns undren og et genis intellekt. Vi rejser med ind i Hawkings univers med dyb fascination.” Sunday Time ”En af de mest fremragende videnskabelige begavelser siden Einstein.” Daily Express ”Hawking forklarer kompleks kosmologisk fysik med en medrivende blanding af klarhed og humor … en hjerne af usædvanlig kraft.” Observer

Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united into a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined? In The Nature of Space and Time, two of the world's most famous physicists-Stephen Hawking (A Brief History of Time) and Roger Penrose (The Road to Reality)-debate these questions.The authors outline how their positions have further diverged on a number of key issues, including the spatial geometry of the universe, inflationary versus cyclic theories of the cosmos, and the black-hole information-loss paradox. Though much progress has been made, Hawking and Penrose stress that physicists still have further to go in their quest for a quantum theory of gravity.

ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS tells a compelling story, using original papers from Einstein, Copernicus, Galilei, Kepler and Newton. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking explains how these works changed the course of science, ushering astronomy and physics out of the Middle Ages and into the modern world.

Stephen Hawking legt in Zusammenarbeit mit Leonard Mlodinow sein Werk "Der große Entwurf" vor. Der britische Physiker stellt darin eine neue Theorie auf, mit deren Hilfe der Ursprung und die Entwicklung des Universums geklärt werden sollen. Eine alles umfassende "Weltformel" scheint in greifbarer Nähe...

Den verdenskendte kosmolog og bestsellerforfatter til En kort historie om tid har efterladt os sine sidste tanker om universets største spørgsmål i dette betagende posthume værk. Hvordan opstod universet? Kan menneskeheden overleve på Jorden? Findes der intelligent liv uden for vores solsystem? Kommer kunstig intelligens til at udkonkurrere os? Igennem sin enestående karriere udvidede Stephen Hawking vores forståelse af universet og opklarede nogle af dets største mysterier. Men selv når hans teoretiske arbejde med sorte huller, imaginær tid og multivers førte hans tanker til rummets yderste grænser, troede Hawking fuldt og fast på, at videnskaben skulle spille en rolle i løsningen af Jordens største problemer. Nu hvor vi står over for potentielt katastrofale forandringer – herunder klimaforandringer, truslen om atomkrig og udviklingen af kunstig super-intelligens – har Stephen Hawking rettet sin opmærksomhed mod menneskehedens mest presserende anliggender. Med en fascinerende argumentation og karakteristisk humor er 'Korte svar på de store spørgsmål' den sidste bog fra en af historiens største begavelser, en intellektuelt stimulerende tour de force fra universets uendelige vidder til de allermest vedkommende udfordringer, som vi og vores klode står over for. En procentdel af indtægterne fra bogen går til velgørende formål.
