In the years since the publication of Hawking's "Brief History of Time", readers have repeatedly told of their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's most important concepts. Now, "A Briefer History of Time" makes its content accessible to readers, as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings.
Purely technical concepts are gone. Subjects such as relativity, curved space and quantum theory have now been given entire chapters of their own. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas, from the latest developments in string theory to exciting developments in the search for a complete, unified theory of all the forces of physics.
