Black Holes The Reith Lectures

Great book. You can read it easily. It’s short and smaller than I expected but with great information. I loved it.

Book came in great condition, and is a fantastic read

What means understanding something? What means detecting a star? What is detecting a black hole? I understand, am aware, believe that a black hole cannot be seen with my own eyes as I can see a star in the sky. What is seeing a star in the sky? Just a spot of light. What use can I have of this observation? Is it necessary to have any use of it? Oh this science! It causes more questions tha it answers. On the level of this text, it is impossible to see the practical usefulness of science, although our everyday life is completely dependent and lying on the basis of science! Four stars for the glimpses of hints to our experiences and the chance of reconstructing an encyclopedy out of smoke and ashes after it having been burned.

Wonderful little book. He is just a genius!

EXCELLENT

Hawsome book and character, the only thing is the length, very short, 55p. or so.

The usual Hawking---good.

this book explains many good points about black holes from the point of Stephen Hawking. A must read for all

Veramente un ottimo librettino che spiega senza troppi giri di parole e con esempi/disegni molto simpatici il fenomeno dei buchi neri. Il libretto lo si legge molto velocemente (io l'ho letto in pausa pranzo) ed in maniera molto scorrevole. L'inglese utilizzato non è complicatissimo quindi anche se avete problemi con la lingua non dovreste avere necessariamente problemi con questa lettura. Per quello che costa e che offre, personalmente lo renderei addirittura una lettura obbligatoria per tutti :)

amazing book good quality and mindblowing content...If you are a cosmologist buy this

I am appalled! I got this book for my 9 year old who is interested in reading about vlack holes. I flip through it cause the book is cute and little, and come upon this page (page 18)! Sexist and inappropriate, why in holy hell would they put this in there?? Its a stupid little science book about a thing in outer space, it does not need this sort of bizarre, disrepectful nonsense. I am severely disappointed.

Great scientific book that makes good reading for the curious at heart.

Ridiculous, takes about 4 minutes to read. Its not a book, more a beermat.
