"Black Holes and Information Theory"
popularly written, at least for part of it,
with rather nice pictures and some historical
summary of the field as well as some new thoughts
by Bekenstein himself who came up with BH temperature
and entropy around 1972 and 1973 and started Hawking
thinking (Hawking was trying to disprove a bekenstein
notion, I believe, and instead of disproving he
discovered the radiation mechnanism)
anyway bekenstein is an old head about BH and its
worth checking out his new paper
