IRB Intro - The Universe in a Nutshell - Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking is possibly the greatest theoretical physicist of all time. He's written many books. This is one of them. It is a theoretical physics book that is aimed at helping the general public understand very complex physics concepts such as supergravity, quantum theory, and many others in terms that are relatively easy to undestand. I have always been interested in this realm, and thus I feel this would be a good entry level book to familiarize myself with some popular concepts.
