The Collapsing Universe: The Story of Black Holes, published in 1977, is one of Isaac Asimov’s many acclaimed works of popular science, a clear and engaging explanation of gravitation, stellar collapse, neutron stars, and the then-newly-understood phenomenon of black holes. One of the most prolific authors of the twentieth century, Asimov wrote or edited more than 500 books spanning science fiction and virtually every branch of knowledge, and was celebrated above all for his gift of making complex science accessible to general readers. Best known for his landmark science fiction, including the Foundation series and I, Robot, he was equally esteemed as one of the great science popularizers of his age.
