Well researched, insightful, and accessibly written, Hawking: The
Man, the Genius, and the Theory of Everything is a tribute to an
astounding life and a celebration of one man's world-changing work.
On March 14, 2018, the world said goodbye to one of science's great
popularizers. Stephen Hawking was as renowned for his theories on time
and space as he was for his unique life story. Undeterred by his
debilitating illness, he trained his mind to work in a new way,
visualizing problems rather than writing equations, and turning into the
leading light in modern science.
This fully illustrated biography follows him from an unremarkable
upbringing in St. Albans to his success as the most celebrated and
inspiring scientist of his generation, taking in his family life and
scientific breakthroughs. It offers a historical perspective on his
achievements, and reveals how he turned a degenerative condition into
his calling card and, perhaps, the source of his greatest triumphs.
