520    In the years since the publication of Hawking's A Brief 
       History of Time, readers have repeatedly told Hawking of 
       their great difficulty in understanding some of the book's
       most important concepts. This is the reason for A Briefer 
       History: his wish to make its content more accessible to 
       readers--as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest
       scientific observations and findings. Purely technical 
       concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary 
       conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide 
       interest that have now been given entire chapters of their
       own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum 
       theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to 
       expand areas of recent progress, from string theory to 
       exciting developments in the search for a unified theory 
       of all the forces of physics.--From publisher description.
