Stephen Hawking is the best-known theoretical physicist alive today. To the public he is a legendary but tragic figure - author of the phenomenally successful book on the origin and fate of the universe, 'A Brief History Of Time', but confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak or write.
'Introducing Stephen Hawking' is a brilliantly conceived introduction to Hawking's work, ranging from Einstein's General Theory of Relativity to Quantum Mechanics, Black Holes and the Big Bang. It also explains Hawking's research into Quantum Gravity, which could emerge as a Theory of Everything.
