Recensioner i media

This app/book version of Hawking's famous laymen book is just an amazing piece of learning. This makes much more accessible and understandable the complex and awesome topics dealt by Hawking as he explains how our universe works. I am just in awe at how creative he is to produce one of a kind e-book like this. The pace, illustrations and connections of topics within the book are so helpful and so appropriate for the new generation used to tweets and small bites of information. You can flip over some topics when you have some time, learn some amazing fact, and come back later which no rush or worry about how fast you are progressing through the book. Hope other books on complex topics are translated to this format. And I love the updates of the latest science since the publication of the original book. We have learned so much in the last decade that I agree with Hawking, it is an honour to live in this times.

  1. 3/5 Andy

    Om man uppskattar populärvetenskap inom denna kategori så finns det mer spännande böcker i mitt tycke. Bill Bryson tex.
    Boken innehåller mycket teorier med en hel del lösa ändar. Hade svårt att hålla intresset genom hela boken. Grafiken på bilderna är otydliga och svåra att se på vissa håll pga kvaliten.
    Mer fascinerad och imponerad av författarens egna liv och möjligheten att fullfölja en karriär med de utmaningar hans fysisk medförde.

  2. 2/5 Lennart

    Mycket har hänt sedan 1996. En hel del grundläggande fysik, och kan man inte den förut så begriper man den nog inte i alla fall. Jag har boken på läsplatta och bilderna blir väldigt otydliga.

  3. 5/5 Per

    Boken får en att tänka på hur små vi ändå är och hur obetydliga. Mycket bra skrivet, verkligen fantastisk läsning

  4. 5/5 Urban H

    Jag har läst boken flera gånger på svenska och tyckt den var intressant.
    Detta är en mycket prisvärd utgåva.
    Mycket prisvärd!
