Unveiling the Edge of Time: Black Holes, White Holes, Worm Holes - Couverture souple

"John Gribbin's book is accessible, lucid and fun, while being no less brilliant than Hawking's book ... reading Gribbin on the subject [of astrophysics] makes this reviewer feel like a child allowed to stay up late."

John Wilkes,

Los Angeles Times

"Something else again ... Gribbin is having fun.... A book that rejoices in paradoxes and delights in reporting that nothing bizarre -- baby universes, bubble universes, universe-sized black holes, energy extraction and time travel through wormholes -- is denied by the laws of physics."

Publishers Weekly

"Gribbin writes entertainingly and makes difficult ideas sound simple."

Michael Rowan-Robinson,

Times Educational Supplement

"Fascinating ... Gribbin's thought-provoking book is written in the smooth, easy style of professional science journalism.... [It gives] the reader the secure feeling of being in the hands of a competent guide through perplexing territory."

H.C. von Baeyer,

New York Times Book Review

Acclaimed science writer John Gribbin recounts dramatic stories that have led scientists to believe black holes and their more mysterious kin are not only real, but might actually provide a passage to other universes and travel through time. 56 line drawings.
