The Illustrated A Brief History Of Time & The Universe In A Nutshell by Stephen W. Hawking

A richly illustrated popular-science overview that explains the origin, structure and fate of the universe by exploring the Big Bang, black holes, relativity and quantum mechanics; it traces how space and time are linked, why time seems to flow in one direction, and how modern physics seeks a single unified framework to reconcile gravity with quantum laws, using clear analogies and images to make deep, counterintuitive ideas accessible to non-specialists.
