This one was a present from a good friend of mine whom i have been bugging with questions!!!What a why to shut a girl up,huh?

Aristoteles ve Batlmayus'un dünya merkezli evreni, Kopernik'in güneş merkezli sistemi, Le Maitre'nin Kozmik Yumurtası ve Hawking'in Sınırsızlık Önermesi yalnızca Evreni ve bizim Evren içindeki yerimizi daha iyi anlama yolunda atılmış birer adım. Yolculuk üzerinde düşünmek, onu anlamak ve ondan keyif almaksa herkesin hakkı

To be honest I was already quite familiar with a lot of the ideas here, so can't judge how well it works as an "introduction" (this was a Christmas gift that I might not have picked up for myself). However the explanations felt very clear and well-written. The illustrations are great: helpful in explaining the concepts and often quite witty. It was a fun read, but I found it a bit of a shame the book never really talked about Hawking's role as a communicator and populariser of science.

Good as a introductory book on concepts. Touches on all physics without the hardcore maths. Worth keeping on your shelf as the illustrations are superb and makes it a interesting read

The title, 'Hawking for beginners', implies two things; a biography about Stephen Hawking ('Hawking') and an easy-to-understand explanation of his theories ('for beginners').
And, although the book is now laughably outdated, stemming from 1995 (not the book's fault), I have a pretty good idea of Hawking's life up to that point.
But the explanation of his theories? Well, even though the authors copiously use cartoons and very clearly label exposition regarding his theory as 'what you should know', the pace is absolutely breackneck. I had to reread big chunks of the book before I was ready to move on because I had trouble understanding.
I couldn't resist comparing this book to a book from my childhood. I read a Dutch translation of that one (of this one too), but the original title is either 'Time and space with uncle Albert', 'Black holes and uncle Albert' or 'Uncle Albert and the quantum quest'. I don't have the brain for physics or astronomy (I have a language/people brain), but that book managed to describe Albert Einstein's work in such easy terms that teenage me understood the theory of relativity through that book. It used a LOT of creativity in order to accomplish that.
This book uses none of that and simply explains the theory, but does not succeed in breaking it down enough. For that I think it could've used an additional fifty pages, which is a shame.
I still like knowing about Hawking's life though.

This book will introduce you to the black holes and the world of Stephen Hawking. It also discusses a few of his works which will motivate you to read more about him, especially the books written about him, like Travelling to Infinity and books written by him, A Brief History of Time.

Great intro/refresher.  Passed on to middle school aged neighbor after reading. 


My one takeaway quote:

"The uncertainty principle, as elucidated by Werner Heisenberg in 1927, states that there are limits on how accurately we can observe certain physical quantities, such as position, momentum, energy and even time.  This is not a limit on our instruments but an inherent characteristic of the Universe, which does not reveal any (emphasis in original) quantity with absolute precision."

-McEvoy and Zarate

If you know that Stephen Hawking is some sort of a famous guy and a big deal in Science, but yet do not have any idea what is the importance of him or what has he found, then this is the ideal book for you!

I must say I did enjoy every single page of this book! If you care to take interest into our universe and how things work in it, then this book is definitely a good place to start your journey of discovery and gathering of knowledge.

I don't remember much of the physics taught back in school and I was probably also rarely attending the classes. It was no obstacle to perfectly well understand the theories and natural laws described in here. Perhaps I thought a few times there could've been a little less pictures and more information, but all in all you get a pretty good overview of the history of quantum physics up to the birth of the Big Bang theory and further developments until 1995, when the book was launched. Should check for a sequel, if it exists :)
So, no fancy scientific talk in here - totally digestable even to a blondie like me ;)

Not bad but some sections not really for absolute beginners. Still worth a read, however.
