A good summary of Hawking's works for laypersons (me). Might get back to this instead of A Brief History of Time if I ever need a reminder.

Curto, interessante. Aquela ilustração comparando uma vagina com um buraco negro envelheceu como leite ao sol.
Foram duas palestras bem curtinhas e com anotações bem pertinentes, fornecendo explicações pra conceitos bem abstratos.
Sem dúvida Stephen Hawking foi um cientista grandioso e nos resta aguardar para ver se sua teoria será comprovada um dia.

If you ever plan to visit a Black Hole, you might find this book helpful as it tells us what type of Black Hole to enter, which black hole is safe, which Black Hole will turn you into spaghetti and so on.
The book is small but it is packed with interesting information with respect to black holes. It's a quick read. It's has got illustrations too, which is handy. It also talks about the border shared by Physics and Philosophy. This is mainly discussed when the topic of information escaping a Black Hole comes into the picture.
Overall, it's a great book for gaining knowledge and it will definitely increase the curiosity of the reader with respect to black holes. It is recommended for all Astro-nerds, Science-nerds and anyone who has the curiosity to know the details of the Black Hole.
