Hawking

Graham Farmelo

£30.00


Stephen Hawking was one of the world's most remarkable thinkers - a brilliant theoretical physicist who, throughout his extraordinary career, expanded our understanding of the origins and structure of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even more remarkable is that none of this should have been possible: an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age predicted that Hawking only had two years to live, not long enough to complete his PhD. In this vividly written and exhaustively researched biography of Hawking, biographer and science writer Graham Farmelo explores how the young Stephen - desperate for his voice to be heard - defied the odds to become the most famous and revered scientist of his generation.
