Here is what people are saying about the The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe
4 Star Rating  "Seven good lectures"2009-10-22
- Reviewed By User: ADXCXX15KNZC9
This book is a new edition of a book originally published in 1996 based in seven Cambridge lectures, basically describing some of the contributions of the author to cosmology and black holes. Among those: the singularity theorems coauthored with Penrose, the Hawking radiation of black holes (of which the author himself claims that it would get him the Nobel Prize if found in nature), the no boundary condition, etc.

Some of the concepts are very clearly explained such as the second law of thermodynamics, the black hole horizon, black hole evaporation, virtual particles, etc, although some others are more difficult to grasp.

There are some small errors, mainly with numbers that should be printed in exponential notation.

Unfortunately these lectures predate the discovery that the universe expansion is accelerating and the detailed results of the Wilkinson probe.

In any case the lectures are excellent reading and contain a lot of very good information. I was specially attracted to the fact that until the 1920's it was almost unthinkable that the universe is expanding, whereas it should have been a logic deduction of Newton's gravitational law and the fact that the universe is not collapsing.
 
3 Star Rating  "Accessible Hawking."2009-04-06
- Reviewed By User: A3MV7LCHZ4BSDA
Good book overall. Gives a good overview of historical cosmology, as well as going over new concepts (i.e. String Theory). It is difficult to wrap your mind around some things (like when he talks about black holes and how the universe possibly started), but in general, this book is very accessible to anyone who wants to start learning about cosmology and physics.
 
5 Star Rating  "My Best Chance at Understanding Hawking"2008-01-19
- Reviewed By User: A3AMPVO9I3F8C5
I'm not a math or science-y person, but I actually enjoyed Hawking's "Theory of Everything." It helps that the cover is fantastic and the book is less than 150 pages-- making it a great gift for any science buff or space whiz (or anyone else who likes to think outside of the box.) Don't be fooled by its sleek packaging, though-- it's the same heavy Hawking you know and love, just... simpler.

Very, very cool book-- now I just have to wait for my boyfriend to read it so we can discuss...!
 
5 Star Rating  "Even if it is unofficial..."2007-10-02
- Reviewed By mickamerica
Even if this product is unofficial, and unsanctioned by Stephen Hawking himself, I have to say I enjoyed it.
I liked how its topics were so clearly delineated into thematically cohesive lectures, I liked that the author read them himself using a computer, and I loved the clear and organized way that Hawking laid out topics as complex and unfathomable as black holes and time and the beginning of the universe.
Don't buy this, I suppose, since it's really not sanctioned by Hawking himself, but do buy his other work that basically repeats this same material.
Do buy this, though, if you're a Hawking completist, already have all his other books, and are looking for just a little bit more.
I loved it.
 
1 Star Rating  "Phoenix Strikes Again"2007-08-13
- Reviewed By customer12345657
When Phoenix did a crummy job on their audio book production of A Brief History of Time, I thought "that seems kind of disrespectful, doing a hack job like that just so they can make money off of a famous book."

Ha! Do I feel like a fool now!


Oh yeah, and of course I am obligated to add this little bit from Hawking's website:

IMPORTANT NOTE
It has come to our attention that the book "The Theory of Everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe" has been published. Professor Hawking would like to make it clear that he has not endorsed this book. The text was written by him many years ago, however the material has already been published in books such as 'A Brief History of Time'. A complaint was made to the Federal Trade Commission in the US in the hope that they would prevent the publication. We would urge you not to purchase this book in the belief that Professor Hawking was involved in its creation.
