The brilliant theoretical physicist who changed the way we look at time and space.

An over-achiever by any standard, Stephen Hawking's life is the epitome of grit and determination over obstacles that might have defeated a lesser man. Beginning his study of physics at Cambridge University when he was just 17, Hawking became a dominant figure in the field of theoretical physics, achieving the prestigious role of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge by the age of just 37. He predicted the theory that black holes emit radiation, a discovery that was accepted as a significant breakthrough in theoretical physics. He also published widely and his A Brief History of Time was on the Sunday Times bestseller list for an astonishing 237 weeks.

Hawking rose to the top of his field despite a devastating diagnosis of motor neurone disease at the age of 21 that rendered him increasingly paralyzed over the course of his life. Chris McNab looks at Hawking's theories and their significance in the study of physics. He also examines how his attitude to life and work enabled his extraordinary achievements in spite of his physical limitations.
