Reseña del libro "A Brief History of Time From the big Bang to Black Holes"

We at the Holden-Day division of Ishi Press are authorized to reprint this edition of this famous work because we are the original publishers of the works of Carl Sagan. We have also published:Intelligent Life in the UniverseWe Are Not Alone : The Search for Intelligent Life on Other Worlds. andThe Cosmic Connection: An Extraterrestrial Perspective ISBN 9784871871648We have also published “From the Black Hole to the Infinite Universe” 9784871871648 by David Levy and Donald GoldsmithCarl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science populariser, and science communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences. He is best known as a science populariser and communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space: the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the now accepted hypothesis that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to and calculated using the greenhouse effect.Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who was director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the University of Cambridge at the time of his death. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009.Hawking's scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.Hawking achieved commercial success with several works of popular science in which he discusses his theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the Sunday Times bestseller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks. Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2002, Hawking was ranked number 25 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.

Ocupó, hasta 2009, la cátedra Lucasiana de Matemáticas que en otro tiempo tuvo Newton en la Universidad de Cambridge, y fue condecorado con el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de la Concordia en 1989. Reconocido universalmente como uno de los más grandes físicos teóricos del mundo, el profesor Hawking ha escrito, pese a sus enormes limitaciones físicas, docenas de artículos que significan en conjunto una aportación a la ciencia que aún no somos capaces de evaluar adecuadamente. A su primera obra de divulgación, Historia del tiempo. Del big bang a los agujeros negros (Crítica, 1988) y El universo en una cáscara de nuez (Crítica, 2002), se le suman Brevísima historia del tiempo —escrita con Leonard Mlodinow— y las antologías A hombros de gigantes. Las grandes obras de la Física y la Astronomía (Crítica 2003), la edición ilustrada de esta última obra (Crítica 2004), Dios creó los números. Los descubrimientos matemáticos que cambiaron la Historia (Crítica 2006) y La gran ilusión. Las grandes obras de Albert Einstein (Crítica, 2008).
