Synopsis

Hawking sets out to explain the origin and fate of the universe without equations getting in the reader’s way: black holes, the arrow of time, and why a beginning is such a hard idea. The book became famous as the science title people bought to feel, briefly, that the largest questions had a door.

Synopses are original catalog copy written for Every Book Ever, not publisher blurbs.
