Stephen Hawking by Michael White
This concise biography traces the life and work of the renowned theoretical physicist, chronicling his early curiosity about the universe, groundbreaking contributions to cosmology and black hole physics (including the theoretical prediction of black hole radiation), and the way he continued to work and communicate complex ideas despite being stricken with motor neurone disease. It explains his collaborations and scientific milestones, his rise to public prominence through popular science writing and media appearances, and explores how his personal resilience and humor shaped his scientific legacy. The book balances accessible explanations of key theories with personal anecdotes to portray both the scientist and the person behind them.
