Synopsis
An in-depth biography of the man behind the famous scientist, revealing his unique perspective on the world, as well as contextualizing his intellectual achievements. Illustrated throughout with photographs of Hawking and documents showing his scientific research., 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., The death of Stephen Hawking in March 2018 brought to a close one of the most remarkable and inspiring scientific life stories of all time. Probably the greatest English cosmologist since Newton and the most celebrated scientist of the modern era, his story transcends the academic sphere. Struck down in his youth with a terrible disease and given just a few years to live, Hawking defied medical science and the frailties of his twisted body to explore vast cosmic realms, experience incredible adventures and enjoy romance and family life. His astounding triumph over disability and his titanic achievements have combined to make him a cultural icon and the most recognizable scientist since Einstein. This fully illustrated biography explores his life and work, explaining his breakthroughs at the cutting edge of cosmology, from the Big Bang to black holes, relating the ups and downs of his extraordinary and sometimes turbulent life.
