Review: A fantastic book for anyone interested in learning about the science of cosmology & astronomy. - As some who has been fascinated with astronomy and related subjects for more than 7 decades, I am always seeking out books and other material to increase my knowledge. This is why when I saw this 216-page hard cover edition while browsing on desertcart (The universe in a nutshell by Stephen Hawking) I decided to purchase this fantastic book. This book is filled with clear and detailed illustrations. This volume provides an overview of numerous research discoveries that have changed the way we think about the cosmos. This book was written after his most popular bestselling book, “ A brief history of time.” This excellent book is organized into 7 chapters covering the following material: “A brief history of relativity, the shape of time, the universe in a nutshell, predicting the future, protecting the past, our future Star Trek or not, and brane new world.” The late Stephen Hawking has a unique way of explaining the complex astronomical and cosmological theories in a way that even non-scientists understand. If you are a fan of Stephen Hawking’s books this is one you may want to check out. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical principles of the most effective Combative Systems).
Review: A good read - Great product, fast delivery.

Great product, fast delivery.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Challenging but not too difficult to grasp
*by A***E on July 10, 2011*

I have been reading about Einstein's life lately and wanted to know more about his theories and their impact on us and our view of physics, astronomy, etc. This is by far the best book if you are interested in having a simple understanding of the theory of relativity, space-time, etc. He explains the terms and then puts it into (close to) layman's language. It even has pictures! ;) I'm a visual learner so this definitely was a big plus! I've learned a lot about the subject from this book. Now I have a good basic knowledge so I can read more about Einstein and know what his achievements meant to the science field.
