Stephen Hawking is one of the most remarkable figures of our time - a Cambridge genius who has earned an international reputation as the most brilliant theoretical physicist since Einstein, as well as an inspiration and revelation to those who have watched his struggle with disability throughout his career. This is Hawking's life story by Kitty Ferguson who has had unprecedented access to Hawking himself and who has a gift for translating the language of theoretical physics into language for non-scientists. Twenty years ago the first edition of Kitty Ferguson's biography of Stephen Hawking became a Sunday Times bestseller and took the world by storm. She now returns to her subject in this new, carefully researched, comprehensively revised edition of her original biography, giving a much richer picture of Hawking's childhood and the rest of his life; the heartrending beginning of his struggle with Motor Neurone Disease when he was a first-year graduate student, and his long personal battle for survival in pursuit of a scientific understanding of the universe. Throughout she also summarises and explains to the layman the extraordinary work in which Hawking has always been engaged. Published now with an entirely fresh set of new photographs and text illustrations, Stephen Hawking is written with the clarity and simplicity for which all Kitty Ferguson's books have been praised. The result is an insightful and captivating account of an extraordinary life and a brilliant mind.
