A great read!' -- ***** Reader review 'The Universe in a Nutshell is the best popular science book I have ever read' -- ***** Reader review ****************************************************************************** Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time was a publishing phenomenon and continues to captivate and inspire new readers every year . When it was first published in 1988 the ideas discussed in it were at the cutting edge of what was then known about the universe. In the intervening years there have been extraordinary advances in our understanding of the space and time. The technology for observing the micro- and macro-cosmic world has developed in leaps and bounds. During the same period cosmology and the theoretical sciences have entered a new golden age and Professor Stephen Hawking has been at the heart of this new scientific renaissance. Now, in The Universe in a Nutshell , beautifully illustrated with original artwork commissioned for this project, Stephen Hawking brings us fully up-to-date with the advances in scientific thinking. We are now nearer than we have ever been to a full understanding of the universe. In a fascinating and accessible discussion that ranges from quantum mechanics to time travel , black holes to uncertainty theory and the search for science's Holy Grail - unified field theory (or in layman's terms the 'theory of absolutely everything' ), Professor Hawking once more takes us to the cutting edge of modern thinking. Review: How great minds work ! - The book contains some amazing theories Well written by the best I really appreciated the way the words turn into pictures in the mind I will buy a hard copy for the equations and be more involved . Perusal Review: Life After A Brief History! - This book is well presented but it is a much harder read then A Brief History of Time. The reader needs a pretty solid foundation in theoretical mathematics and a fair knowledge of particle physics. For example an appreciation of imaginary time vide imaginary numbers - is helpful to say the least. It needs dogged determination to get through some chapters. Still, good value for money and mind expanding, if you let it. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,814,313 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #58 in Cosmology (Books) #65 in Astrophysics & Space Science (Books) #1,331 in Quantum Theory (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,475 Reviews | ## Images ![The Universe In A Nutshell: the beautifully illustrated follow up to Professor Stephen Hawking’s bestselling masterpiece A Brief History of Time - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MEGY6i4aL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How great minds work ! *by A***N on 11 March 2026* The book contains some amazing theories Well written by the best I really appreciated the way the words turn into pictures in the mind I will buy a hard copy for the equations and be more involved . Perusal ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life After A Brief History! *by N***R on 6 February 2021* This book is well presented but it is a much harder read then A Brief History of Time.

Good quality glossy pages especially for pictures. Very well written as you would expect, and a well maintained explanation with huge amounts of information to get the brain working, just right for those of us without a million science degrees. A good price i thought. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Universe In A Nutshell: the beautifully illustrated follow up to Professor Stephen Hawking’s bestselling masterpiece A Brief History of Time - The Illustrated Brief History Of Time: the beautifully illustrated edition of Professor Stephen Hawking’s bestselling masterpiece - Brief Answers to the Big Questions: 'A beautiful little book by a brilliant mind' DAILY TELEGRAPH --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48003785-the-universe-in-a-nutshell-the-beautifully-illustrated-follow-up](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48003785-the-universe-in-a-nutshell-the-beautifully-illustrated-follow-up) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-16*
