Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Born in 1942, Stephen Hawking is no ordinary scientist. With a career that began over thirty years ago at Cambridge University, he has managed to do more than perhaps any other physicist to broaden our basic understanding of the universe. This skilful portrait of an indefatigable genius traces the course of Hawking's life and science, marrying biography and physics to tell the story of a remarkable man.

As the New Stateman said of the first edition in 1992: 'A gripping account of a physicist whose speculations could prove as revolutionary as those of Albert Einstein...Its combination of erudition, warmth, robustness, and wit is entirely appropriate to their subject.

Revue de presse :

Intriguing ... There are larger questions here than the life of even this singular man (Peter Ackroyd, THE TIMES)

Immensely moving... totally gripping to read --(DAILY TELEGRAPH)

Fascinating... What makes this book so rewarding is the way that the authors have blended their account of Hawking's science with that of his life --(SPECTATOR)

This absorbing biography illuminates the extraordinary single-mindedness that has enabled him to triumph over adversity. --(MAIL ON SUNDAY)
