Features: Few books have as vividly portrayed the enterprise of science as "Black Holes and Time Warps": it unfolds the scroll of history, depicting the wonders and exciting discoveries of physics. What is even rarer is that it gives us an insider's perspective on the style and temperament of science. Since Einstein's general relativity burst onto the scene in 1915, some of the most brilliant minds of this century have been exploring its mysteries, some of which—such as black holes and time machines—are things even Einstein himself found hard to imagine. Renowned physicist Kip S. Thorne has also been exploring these phenomena. Now, he vividly portrays them in a compelling account, explaining the universe as he and his colleagues have come to understand it.
