## Description

''An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]'' - Independent''Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself'' - FocusStephen 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.
