In a series of 7 lectures, Stephen Hawking describes the history of the universe as we know it. He begins with the history of ideas about the universe, from Aristotle's idea that the Earth is round to Hubble's discovery two millennium later that our universe is growing.
Everyone who has ever gazed into the night skies wondering how the cosmos came to be will enjoy this new exploration drive by Hawking, concluding with his proposal for a "unified theory of Everything".

Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look than before at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it. Imagine sitting in a comfortable room listening to Hawking's latest theories getting discussed and placed in historical context with science's other great achievements--quite like hearing Christopher Columbus deliver the news about the new world!
