"Hawking has succeeded in writing two intertwined books, one a highly readable and popular account of the role of time in physics, the other an in-depth review--What makes all this so interesting is Hawking's ability to convoy the essential physics in words alone."--Physics Today

"In his first work of popular science, Stephen Hawking proves himself to be a master of vivid clarity--It's difficult to think of anyone else living who could have put these mathematically formidable subjects more clearly."--Chicago Tribune

"A masterful summary of what physicists now think the world is made of and how it got that way."--Wall Street journal
