内容简介

Stephen Hawking has dazzled readers worldwide with a string of bestsellers exploring the mysteries of the universe. Now, for the first time, perhaps the most brilliant cosmologist of our age turns his gaze inward for a revealing look at his own life and intellectual evolution.

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.

史蒂芬·霍金的一系列探讨宇宙神秘的畅销书使全球读者眼花缭乱。现在，这位也许是我们时代最杰出的宇宙学家向自己的内心凝视生命和智慧的演化。
史蒂芬·霍金浮光掠影般讲述了自己从战后的伦敦的男孩成长为国际学术巨星的岁月。这部附有大量罕见照片的，简明的、风趣的、坦诚的自传让读者了解在过去著作中难得一见的霍金：被同学起绰号为爱因斯坦的好追根究底的小学生；曾经和同事为特别黑洞存在打赌的开玩笑者；在物理学和宇宙学世界搏取立足之地的年轻的丈夫和父亲。以特有的谦逊和幽默的文笔，霍金倾谈他21岁时被诊断出ALS 病后面临的挑战。追踪他的思想家的生涯，他解释早夭的前景如何迫使他取得一个又一个智慧的突破，还论及他的杰作–20世纪标志性著作之一的《时间简史》的本源。
这部清晰的、亲切的、明智的《我的简史》为我们打开通往霍金个人宇宙的一扇窗户。

书评

“Stephen Hawking [has] a brain of enviable vastness, seeing and understanding things that lie way beyond most of us… His modesty is engaging”
–Daily Mail

“Hawking writes movingly… we hear his voice radiating directly from the black hole of his motor neuron disease, without the amplification and elaboration supplied by the co-authors with whom he wrote his last few books”
–Financial Times

“A concise, gleaming portrait”
–Nature

“Powerful… [his] brevity makes for a bold picture” Guardian “Read it for the personal nuggets… But above all, it’s worth reading for its message of hope”
–Mail on Sunday

作者简介

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.

斯蒂芬·威廉·霍金，英国剑桥大学应用数学、理论物理学系教授，当代最重要的广义相对论和宇宙论家，是当今享有国际盛誉的伟人之一，被称为在世的最伟大的科学家，还被称为“宇宙之王”。70年代他与彭罗斯一起证明了著名的奇性定理，为此他们共同获得了1988年的沃尔夫物理奖。他因此被誉为继爱因斯坦之后世界上最著名的科学思想家和最杰出的理论物理学家。他还证明了黑洞的面积定理，即随着时间的增加黑洞的面积不减。2012年1月8日霍金预言，地球将在千年内面临核战之类的大灾难，人类只有在火星或太阳系其他星球移民，才能避免灭绝。
