A Briefer History of Time (2005, ISBN 0-553-80436-7) is a popular-science book from the English physicist Stephen Hawking and the American physicist Leonard Mlodinow. It is an update and rewrite of Hawking's 1988 "A Brief History of Time". In this book Hawking and Mlodinow try to present quantum mechanics, string theory, and other topics in a more accessible fashion to the general public. The book is updated with newly discovered topics, and informs of recurring subjects throughout the book in greater detail.
It is a science classic made more accessible, more concise, illustrated, and is updated with the latest research of the time. The authors address the nature of space and time, the role of a god in creation, and the history and future of the universe.
