From the bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), a startling and eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world.
Winner of the 2013 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award Over the past two decades of neurological research, it has become increasingly clear that the way we experience the world--our perception, behavior, memory, and social judgment--is largely driven by the mind's subliminal processes and not by the conscious ones, as we have long believed....

Stephen Hawking byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších fyziků naší doby, který ovlivnil životy milionů lidí. Fyzik a spisovatel Leonard Mlodinow ve své nové knize nabízí unikátní a nanejvýš osobní portrét jedinečného muže, s nímž téměř dvě desetiletí spolupracoval na různých knihách a se kterým ho pojilo vřelé přátelství. Setkáváme se s Hawkingem jako s géniem, který se zaměřuje na odhalení záhad vesmíru a nakonec formuluje průkopnickou teorii černých děr, jež znovu rozvíří vody kosmologie a odkryje zcela nové cesty fyzikům zkoumajícím...
