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.
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.
感觉无力去评价这位伟人,他的伟大至少体现在他把影响力从剑桥延伸到了另一个过度我所在的一个小角落里。 读完自传,我甚至已经忘了霍金教授是什么时候被诊断出帕金森综合症的,再翻开自传才发现根本没有专门的一章。全书写了他的童年、青年、求学、婚姻和研究的历程,而对于纠...
評分P12 格丁根->一般翻成哥廷根 P75 保险杆->保险杠 P76 罗宾孙->罗宾逊 P79 棒球百科全书->板球百科全书 不知是译错,还是霍金笔误,他答应给《棒球百科全书》,因为难找才给了《板球百科全书》。 P91 一个人的话音-声音 费恩曼->费曼,国内通常翻为费曼,之前在...
評分我们去读一个人的自传,不外乎有三个原因:这个人是名人,我们想知道他为什么出名;这个人有吸引我们的地方,激发了我们的窥视欲;我们不懂这个人或者这个人的工作,希望在自传里能够更加了解。 以《时间简史》闻名的霍金出版了自传《我的简史》。基于上面的三个原因,这本设...
評分可能我们每个人看到的关于霍金的描述里都会提到他只能动X根手指…… 然后被深深地打脸了。 我不明白,为什么提到霍金,不管是对他的介绍还是对他的书的评论,都总要提到XXXXX病,X根手指。 他是一位科学家,头号兴趣和最大骄傲都是科学,人们是不是也应该,比他的疾病更多地关...
評分霍金的《我的简史》,一如书名所言,是将其广袤复杂的思想与光芒四射的一生浓缩在了薄薄的128页、不足6万字的字里行间。“简”,是该书装帧设计上的特点:黑色的封面、黑色的插页与穿插在其中的珍贵的黑白照片,同时也表明这是浓缩的历史中的浮光掠影。在这些光影中,霍金对他...
at least it's all first hand data
评分一個覺得自己幸運的人會受到上天的眷顧
评分一個覺得自己幸運的人會受到上天的眷顧
评分除瞭深陷輪椅外, 霍金真的是個非常典型非常典型的英國人
评分It's LITERALLY brief. 之前並不知道他是這麼一個同時具備清醒的頭腦和幽默感的人,兩者皆是我最珍視的品質。
