Non-Fiction Biography
Stephen Hawking has been an iconic figure in physics for the
last half a century,making many groundbreaking discoveries
on the nature of the universe. Yet while his mind roams to
the farthest corners of reality, his body has become
increasingly trapped by the advance of Lou Gehrig’s disease,
which has bound him to a wheel chair, without speech or
movement except for a few facial muscles. Told in his youth
that he would not live past his 20s, Hawking will turn 70 in
2012, and today he continues to inspire millions, drawing
rock-concert-sized crowds wherever he lectures. Science writer Kitty Ferguson has been working with Stephen
Hawking for decades, and produced an internationally
bestselling biography of his life in 1992. Now, she brings
his life as well as his scientific discoveries up-to-date.
This is a remarkable look at how one of the greatest
scientific mind alive overcame the odds to become the truly
inspirational figure he is today.
