My Brief History recounts Stephen Hawking’s improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty, and candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology.
Writing with characteristic humility and humor, Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time—one of the iconic books of the twentieth century.
Clear-eyed, intimate, and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into Hawking’s personal cosmos.
Stephen Hawking was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge for thirty years. He is the author of several books, including the worldwide publishing phenomenon A Brief History of Time, A Briefer History of Time (written with Leonard Mlodinow), The Universe in a Nutshell, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time, and the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universes.
最近许多名人被点名参加一个叫冰桶挑战赛的活动,这个活动的目的是为了让社会关注“肌萎缩侧索硬化“的罕见病症,这个病症简称为ALS。史蒂芬.霍金就是ALS患者,他在21岁那年患病,这时生命才刚刚露出鲜亮的颜色,就要被慢慢开始的肌肉萎缩所吞噬。但令人惊奇的是,当霍金...
評分一直觉得自己应该会读不懂“时间简史”这类的书籍,专业性太强,出于对霍金的好奇,读了“我的简史”。薄薄的一本,几小时就读完了,平铺直叙的一生事件、经历的自传。也有对于宇宙,黑洞的简单解释。读完之后我理解了“当下的力量”的作者在见到霍金眼睛那一刹那的理解,那是...

20180331閱畢,最近剛讀過《The Theory of Everything》,聽聞作者去世,又之前看過微博盧昌海提到這本傳記,遂斷斷續續讀之。書不厚,輕鬆讀完,內容前半部分主要講從小到大學的求學經曆,輕描淡寫。後半部分講瞭自己的主要貢獻,非有相對論背景細節可跳過。中間順帶講瞭自己的兩段婚姻(兩個女人給他的幫助都很大),穿插對個人的身體狀況評價。有一些有趣的八卦,比如嚮伽利略道歉纔願意前往梵蒂岡領奬,和吉普索恩等人的賭約,狄拉剋對他頒奬的幫助,蓋爾曼與費曼之間的故事,其中對時間機器避免炒作或軍事注意的處理或戲謔,可以對比學術界國內外對各種新概念的炒作、嘩眾取寵博眼球申經費。

评分一天的閱讀來懷念。一堆電子書裏翻齣這本,真是很簡潔,卻各方麵都涉及到瞭。還是不太能接受這是個有血肉之軀、有生命盡頭的凡人,可能是因為和他緊緊聯係的東西太浩繁遼遠瞭。What made the universe made you.
