Made into a major motion picture, this moving memoir written by Stephen Hawking’s first wife covers the turbulent years of her marriage to the astrophysics genius, her traumatic divorce, and their recent reconciliation
Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous and remarkable scientists of our age and the author of the scientific bestseller A Brief History of Time, which has sold more than 25 million copies. In this compelling memoir, his first wife, Jane Hawking, relates the inside story of their extraordinary marriage. As Stephen's academic renown soared, his body was collapsing under the assaults of a motor neuron disease. Jane's candid account of trying to balance his 24-hour care with the needs of their growing family reveals the inner strength of the author, while the self-evident character and achievements of her husband make for an incredible tale presented with unflinching honesty.
Jane's candor is no less apparent when the marriage finally ends in a high-profile meltdown, with Stephen leaving Jane for one of his nurses and Jane marrying an old family friend. In this exceptionally open, moving, and often funny memoir, Jane Hawking confronts not only the acutely complicated and painful dilemmas of her first marriage, but also the relationship's fault lines exposed by the pervasive effects of fame and wealth.
The result is a book about optimism, love, and change that will resonate with readers everywhere. readers

Double bill of futuristic horror films. In 'The Purge' (2013),
Ethan Hawke stars as the head of a family forced to fight for their
lives. With crime in America spiralling out of control and prison
populations soaring, the government of the day implements a drastic
new initiative to address the problem. For a 12-hour period once a
year, all crime, including murder, is legal, as the police and
other emergency services stand down for the night, allowing the
population to regulate itself. 'The Purge' is deemed a success due
to plummeting crime levels and record low unemployment figures. But
after placing their upmarket home under its yearly lockdown, James
and Mary Sandin (Hawke and Lena Headey) and their family find
themselves under siege from a crazed group of masked killers when
their teenage son (Max Burkholder) offers shelter to the mob's
terrified prey. In 'The Purge: Anarchy' (2014), following on from
events in the previous film, a year has passed and the time for
society to purge itself of all murderous and violent urges has come
back around. Desperate to get home to their children before 'The
Purge' commences, a young couple (Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez)
find themselves stranded when their car breaks down, leaving them
at the mercy of a mob of masked attackers. Meanwhile, a man (Frank
Grillo) looking to avenge the murder of his son becomes the
reluctant protector of a mother and daughter (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe
Soul) on the run. Can they all survive the night?
A book of evocative and atmospheric photographs taken by Dick
Hawkes to create a representative record of this precious and
ecologically unique habitat - before much of it is lost to the many
threats it faces. Chalk streams have been described as England's
"rainforest". Around 85% of the world's chalk streams are in
England. They are beautiful, biologically distinct and amazingly
rich in wildlife, but are under threat from man-made issues of
abstraction, pollution from chemicals and effluent, development for
housing, and climate change. Included in the book are images of
typical habitats and species of wildlife found in chalk streams and
water meadows, highlighting those that are rare or most under
threat.
