A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME
THE CHALLENGE OF THE UNIVERSE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN MEDICINE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SURGERY
Stephen Hawking's book, A Brief History of Time took millions of uninitiated readers to distant galaxies, black holes and alternate dimensions and across centuries of scientific thought --- all to confront the supreme questions about the origin and nature of the universe.
Now Scientific American offers an equally mind-expanding experience: A Brief History of Time on interactive CD-ROM. Viewers will participate in the age-old struggle to grasp the essential nature of the universe-- a struggle Hawking articulates so clearly and charmingly. A Brief History of Time CD-ROM contains the complete text of the book, along with excerpts from the film, and spectacular new images and interactive animations.
