What is a black hole? Could we survive a visit to one? Have we yet discovered any real black holes? These are just some of the tantalizing questions answered in this tour-de-force, jargon-free review of one of the most facinating topics in modern science. In search of the answers, we trace a star from its birth to its death throes, take a hypothetical journey to the border of a black hole and beyond, spend time with leading theoretical physicists and astronomers, and take a whimsical look at some wild ideas black holes have inspired.Prisons of Light - Black Holes is comprehensive and detailed. Yet Kitty Ferguson's lightness of touch and down-to-earth analogies set this book apart from all others on black holes and make it a wonderfully stimulating and entertaining read.
