Features: Since its first publication in 1988, Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time has become a landmark in the history of scientific literature worldwide. It has been translated into 40 languages and has sold nearly 10 million copies, becoming a marvel in the history of international publishing. The illustrated edition comprehensively updates the original content, incorporating new knowledge revealed by observations and Hawking's latest research, along with numerous (250) photographs and computer-generated three-dimensional and four-dimensional space diagrams. Hawking once proudly quoted a reviewer's remark: "My books on physics are more popular than Madonna's books on sex." It remains to be seen how much this illustrated edition will inflate the already enormous sales figures.
