#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A whirlwind tour of fundamental physics and cosmology.”—The Wall Street Journal

“Fascinating . . . a wealth of ideas [that] leave us with a clearer understanding of modern physics in all its invigorating complexity.”—Los Angeles Times

When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? Is the apparent “grand design” of our universe evidence of a benevolent creator who set things in motion—or does science offer another explanation? In The Grand Design, Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow present the most illuminating scientific thinking about these and other abiding mysteries of the universe, in nontechnical language marked by brilliance and simplicity.

According to quantum theory, the cosmos does not have just a single existence or history. The authors explain that we ourselves are the product of quantum fluctuations in the early universe and show how quantum theory predicts the “multiverse”—the idea that ours is just one of many universes that appeared spontaneously out of nothing, each with different laws of nature. They conclude with a riveting assessment of M-theory, an explanation of the laws governing our universe that is currently the only viable candidate for a “theory of everything”: the unified theory that Einstein was looking for, which, if confirmed, would represent the ultimate triumph of human reason.
 
A succinct, startling, and lavishly illustrated guide to discoveries that are altering our understanding and threatening some of our most cherished belief systems, The Grand Design is a book that will inform—and provoke—like no other.

Wonderful and useful book.
Format: Kindle
I am very glad I purchased this book. I used it over and over again. Wrote many notes and it added much value to pursue my cases at courts. This is a true asset for providing an overall overview with much advice. I also purchased his other book The Winning Brief, but that is only available in paper format and it is mainly for linguistic help in writing briefs for appellate court, for the purpose of really perfecting your writing. At lower courts or supreme courts you just do not have the time to think in that much details and these courts may not even read it. You are lucky if you can say two sentences on court appearances. They do not put that much into details when making judgments, so most likely your case ends up in the appellate, and here that book becomes valuable too - The Winning Brief. Again, this book really excellent and pleasant to read. The Kindle version was easy to search for anything, word, phrase, notes. 5 star book. THANKS.
