Stephen Hawking by Anita Croy

Stephen Hawking advanced our understanding of the
universe more than any other scientist of his day. He spent his entire life
chasing the idea of a ‘Theory of Everything’, to explain the entire universe,
relating to the Big Bang Theory. He said that the aim of scientists is to
experience the joy of discovering something that no one has ever known before.

Stephen Hawking’s career was intrinsically tied to his
impact on society. He wrote his book, A Brief History of Time, to
explain physics not to just scientists, but to anyone who was interested. It
made him one of the most famous scientists in the world. Later in his life, as
a sufferer of ALS, Hawking became an inspirational story of living with
disability, and chasing your dreams regardless.

This colourfully illustrated, beautifully designed
biography will captivate young readers and teach them what Hawking learned
about black holes and time, how he discovered how the universe began, and why
he believed that humans must live on other planets. Through his life, it gives
an insight into how Hawking’s discoveries have changed our understanding of the
world around us forever!
