Benjamin Griffin, and Victor Fischer

By Stephen Hawking
and Leonard Mlodinow
The three central questions of philosophy and science: Why is there something rather than nothing? Why do we exist? Why this particular set of laws and not some other? No one can make a discussion of such matters as compulsively readable as the celebrated University of Cambridge cosmologist Hawking (A Brief History of Time).
