'An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]' - Independent
'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself' -
Focus Stephen Hawking was a world-famous physicist with a cameo in
The Simpsons on his CV, but outside of his academic field his work
was little understood. To the public he was a tragic figure - a
brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A
Brief History of Time, and yet spent the majority of his life
confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed. Hawking's
major contribution to science was 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.
