E=mc^(Hawking)

Dec.12, 2004 in Science

From today’s New York Times, a few questions for Stephen Hawking

With all your intense erudition, why do you bother writing pop-science books about the universe, the latest of which is the illustrated version of ”On the Shoulders of Giants”?

I want my books sold on airport bookstalls.
