A Brief History of Time

Stephen Hawking

The edition behind this number

Read this result carefully

The word history in this title does not make the book a 900s history example. Its recorded subject is cosmology, and the catalogue gives 523.1 within the science class. The edition statement says updated and expanded tenth anniversary edition, with 1998 publication information. These details distinguish the record from other versions of Hawking’s work. The numeric class describes the subject treatment; it does not indicate the reading difficulty or tell you the complete shelf location in a particular library.

The record lists a valid ISBN associated with this edition. That does not independently verify every metadata field, establish a universal number for every version, or give the complete local shelf location. Compare the source with your copy.
