<h3>Synopsis</h3> Stephen Hawking's contributions to physics and cosmology literally changed our understanding of the universe. This captivating biography introduces his life and greatest scientific contributions, with accessible explanations on his theories surrounding general relativity, quantum mechanics, the science of black holes, and his pursuit of the 'Theory of Everything'. With black and white photographs throughout, this biography gives a wonderful insight into Hawking's extraordinary achievements and how his attitude to life and work were the true driver of his success. Arriving at the University of Cambridge to study physics when he was just 17, Hawking became a dominant figure in the field of theoretical physics. He predicted the theory that black holes emit radiation, a discovery that was accepted as a significant breakthrough. His book, A Brief History of Time, was on the Sunday Times bestseller list for an astonishing 237 weeks. Hawking continued to rise to the top of his field, despite a diagnosis of motor neurone disease at the age of 21. In this beautiful hardback edition with gold foil, Chris McNab looks at Hawking’s theories and their significance in the study of physics and examines how his mental attitude allowed him to make extraordinary achievements despite his physical limitations.
