A Briefer History of Time (Schulman book)

"A Briefer History of Time" (1999, ISBN 0-7167-3389-7) is a science humor book by the American astronomer Eric Schulman. In this book, Schulman presents humorous summaries of what he claims are the fifty-three most important events since the beginning of time. The title and cover are a parody of Stephen Hawking's book "A Brief History of Time". Coincidentally, Hawking would later write a "sequel" entitled "A Briefer History of Time".
