<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This guide explores the fascinating life of Stephen Hawking, and the evolution of his work from his days as a student.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Stephen Hawking is the world-famous physicist with a cameo in <i>The Simpsons</i> on his CV, but outside his academic field his work is little understood. To the public he is a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of Time, and yet confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralyzed.</p> <p>Hawking's major contribution to science has been to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics - Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>'An ideal introduction'--Independent<br><br>'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself'--Focus<br>
