BLACK HOLES AND BABY UNIVERSES AND OTHER ESSAYS

On the heels of Hawking's best-seller A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME, comes this accessible compilation of speeches and essays. Hawking covers familiar ground--black holes and the big bang, for example--with additional attention to autobiographical details, imaginary time and God. Each segment is punctuated with lively music; narrator Prebble has the urbanity and British accent one might expect from Hawking if he were without disability. The narrator's voice projects a wry humor, in line with Hawking's mild witticisms and side comments, and the overall feeling is most authentic. D.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 94]
