1. 1. Stephen Hawking's Universe

   

   A readable portrait of a pioneering theoretical physicist that interweaves his personal life and struggles with clear, accessible explanations of his groundbreaking work in cosmology and black hole physics—covering singularities, the prediction that black holes can emit radiation, and efforts to reconcile quantum mechanics with general relativity. Using interviews, anecdotes, and engaging science writing, the book traces his intellectual development, public persona, and the wider implications of his ideas for understanding the origin and fate of the universe.
