A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME





Has the Universe had a beginning? Will it have an end? Why do we think we know the Universe better than centuries ago? Is it expanding and has boundaries? Or, otherwise, is it infinite?

Humanity has been asking itself why the Universe behave like it does and if there could be other different Universes.

Along the book, Stephen Hawking explains in simple words the historical development of the research of the origins of the Universe.

The author starts with a review of the classical theories about the Universe and goes across the most modern research by the time the book has been written.

In fact, the strongest point of the book is the way that the most complex theories are explained without losing the scientific accuracy that science deserves.

Thus, Stephen Hawking has managed to popularise the advanced knowledge involved in the Theoretical Physics of the Universe.


We have a highly recommendable book for those who have hunger of knowledge and are passionate about learning.

If you feel that you should expand the boundaries of your cultural Universe, this book is an excellent starting point.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA II: PRINCE CASPIAN


Three months have passed in England but some centuries in Narnia. The summer holidays are over and the four teenagers that once ruled Narnia are on the way home.

They are about to take the train back home but suddenly everything around them fades out. What's happening?

Narnians and  Telmarins are on the edge of a war. The king of the Telmarins is a wicked and ambitious man that want to overtake all the power for him and his descendants. And that includes getting rid of Caspian, the legitimate heir to the throne.

The former kings and queens of Narnia have been summoned by Caspian with a magical corn.

The war is ready between telmarins and narnians. But Aslan comes back.

This is the second book of the saga written by C.S. Lewis and an excellent and coherent continuation of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
