Part of the reissued Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences series, this book was first published in 1983, and has swiftly become one of the great modern classics of relativity theory. It represents a personal testament to the work of the author, who spent several years writing and working-out the entire subject matter. The theory of black holes is the most simple and be...(展开全部)

In 1935, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar challenged the prevailing theory of the day by suggesting that not all stars die the same death. He proposed that stars with more than 1.4 times the mass of the sun were compressed by their own gravitational forces into dense, dark objects. Winner of the 1983 Nobel Prize for Physics, Chandrasekhar here describes in exhaustive detail how a rot...(展开全部)

Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace-but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as "The Mathematical Theory of Communication", published originally as a paper on communication theory in the "Bell System Technical Journal" more than fifty years ago. Republished in book form shortly thereafter, it has since gone throug...(展开全部)

约翰·格里宾(John Gribbin)，英国著名科学读物专业作家，萨塞克斯大学天文学访问学者。毕业于剑桥大学，获天体物理学博士学位，现在是苏塞克斯大学的客座天文学研究员。曾先后在《自然》志和《新科学家》周刊任职。1974年他以其关于气候变迁的作品获得了英国最佳科学著作奖。 约翰·格里宾著有50多部科普和科幻作品，其中的科学三部曲《薛定谔之猫探秘》、《双螺旋探秘》和《大爆炸探秘》尤为脍炙人口。此外，他还与妻子合著了一系列著名科学家的传记，而反映“科学顽童”费恩曼科学生涯的《迷人的科学风采——费思曼传》更是广受好评。他还撰写了许多畅销书，其中包括《寻找多重宇宙》《大宇宙百科全书》《欧米加点》、《大爆炸之探索》、《起始》、《宇宙指南》和《Q代表量子》。他的书已被译成多种语言，并在英国和美国得过奖。

A Brief History of Time for the 21st Century At the heart of our galaxy lies a monster so deadly, not even light can escape its grasp. Its secrets lie waiting to be discovered. It's time to explore our universe's most mysterious inhabitants Black Holes At the heart of the Milky Way lies a supermassive black hole 4 million times more massive than our Sun. A place where space and...(展开全部)
