- Black Holes and Time Warps
"Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" (1994) is a popular science book by Kip Thorne. It provides an illustrated overview of the history and development of black hole theory up until the early 1990s.
The main part of the book is just over five hundred pages long. Furthermore, the book provides several sets of reference indexes for people, papers and technical footnotes. It is available in paperback and has a foreword by Stephen Hawking.
