Description

What is a black hole? Could we survive a visit to one … perhaps even venture inside?

Have we yet discovered any real black holes? And what do black holes teach us about the mysteries of our Universe?

These are just a few of the tantalizing questions examined in this tour-de-force, jargon-free review of one of the most fascinating topics in modern science.

In search of the answers, we trace a star from its birth to its death throes, take a hypothetical journey to the border of a black hole and beyond, spend time with some of the world's leading theoretical physicists and astronomers, and take a whimsical look at some of the wild ideas black holes have inspired.

Prisons of Light - Black Holes is comprehensive and detailed.

Yet Kitty Ferguson's lightness of touch and down-to-earth analogies set this book apart from all others on black holes and make it a wonderfully stimulating and entertaining read.
