Hawking presents both the history of the universe and the history of the discovery of that history masterfully. Whilst not 'dumbing down', Hawking, to a very large extent, makes theoretical physics and cosmology to those other than the specialists by employing simple analogies and language, rather than equations.
This book is incredible. Hawking's enthusiasm and optimism is detectable throughout, as is his incredible intelligence and courage. Not once whilst talking about himself or his disability does he demonstrate self-pity. He is highly grateful and courageous.
A fantastic work from a fantastic man and mind.
