The Universe in Your Hand

Christophe Galfard was Professor Stephen Hawking’s graduate student from 2000-2006 and has co-authored books for children with Stephen and Lucy Hawking. The Universe In Your Hand takes us on a wonder-filled journey to the surface of our dying Sun, shrinks us to the size of an atom and puts us in the deathly grip of distant Black Holes. Along the way you might come to really understand the mind-bending science that underpins modern life, from Quantum Mechanics to Einstein's theory of General Relativity.
