Description
Stephen Hawking: A Life Well Lived by Kitty Ferguson is a meticulously researched biography that chronicles the remarkable life of one of the world's most celebrated scientists. Born in 1942, Stephen Hawking defied the odds when he was given just two years to live, yet he continued to pursue his passion for understanding the universe until his passing in 2018 at the age of 76. This updated biography offers a rich and detailed account of Hawking's life, from his childhood and early struggles with motor neurone disease to his international fame and ongoing work on black holes and the origin of the universe. Ferguson also explores Hawking's leadership at the London Paralympic Games, his involvement in high-profile film projects, and his tireless advocacy for environmental and humanitarian causes. Through a comprehensive examination of Hawking's life and work, this biography provides a nuanced and engaging portrait of a man who continued to inspire and challenge us until the end.
