Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at the age
of 21 and was expected to live for only another two years. He went
on to write books and deliver public lectures right up until his
death at the age of 76 in 2018. Hawking achieved commercial success
with several works of popular science in which he discusses his own
theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of
Time, a layman's guide to cosmology, appeared on the Sunday Times
best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks and sold more than
10 million copies. As Martin Rees, the cosmologist, astronomer
royal and Hawking's longtime colleague wrote, "His name will live
in the annals of science; millions have had their cosmic horizons
widened by his best-selling books; and even more, around the world,
have been inspired by a unique example of achievement against all
the odds - a manifestation of amazing willpower and determination."
In this concise and informative guide to Hawking's life and work,
his key scientific achievements - from gravitational singularities
to quantum cosmology - are covered in an approachable and
accessible way. This is a celebration of an icon of modern physics,
who inspired generations of scientists and changed our
understanding of the universe.
