For Hawking's view on the preservation of causality presented in accessible language, you might want to read his The Universe in a Nutshell. My review discusses that a bit, both in prose and in its opening limerick!
That's right, a limerick about wormholes, black holes, causality, and a smiling man with a synthetic voice tooling about in a motorized wheelchair.
Enjoy!
