New Stephen Hawking Book Coming Out in September

Posted on June 28, 2010

Stephen Hawking has a new book coming out in September. It is first book since The Universe in a Nutshell was published in 2001. Stephen Hawking's new book, The Grand Design, is co-written by California Institue of Technology physicist Leonard Mlodinow. The book examines the idea of a "unified theory" that can explain all the forces of nature.

Stephen Hawking believes we are very close to an understanding, not just of the workings of our universe, but of its very beginnings. Drawing on forty years of Hawking's own research and a recent series of extraordinary astronomical observations and theoretical breakthroughs, Hawking and Mlodinow examine the evidence for the existence of a 'unified theory'--a single theory that can describe and explain all the forces of nature.
