A Brief History of Black Holes

From understanding why our sun shines until the death of a black hole. The book truly brings you to a journey of our understanding about black holes, a short documentary of humanity, trying to understand one of the most misterious, fascinating objects in the universe; hence, the title of the book: The Brief History of Black Holes.

The author is able to balance the trade-off between simplicity of the concept and complexity of the details. The passages are easy to understand and yet the physics behind are actually not a trivial things to follow. In some chapters, you can feel the excitement of the author through her words; it is contagious and excites me too! I trully enjoyed reading this book.
