Features: Few books have portrayed the enterprise of science as vividly as "Black Holes and Time Warps": it unfolds a historical tapestry, depicting the marvels and exciting discoveries of physics. More is that it allows us to see an insider's insight into the style and temperament of science. Since Einstein's General Relativity burst onto the scene in 1915, some of the century's greatest minds have been exploring its mysteries, some of which—as black holes and time machines—are things even Einstein himself found hard to imagine. The renowned physicist Kip S. Thorne has also been exploring them. Now, he vividly portrays these phenomena in engaging narrative and explains the universe as they know it.
