My brief history / author, Stephen Hawking;reader, Matthew Brenher.
Recounts Stephen Hawking's improbable journey, from his postwar London boyhood to his years of international acclaim and celebrity introducing readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates nicknamed him Einstein; the jokester who once placed a bet with a colleague over the existence of a particular black hole; and the young husband and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of physics and cosmology. Hawking opens up about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of ALS at age twenty-one. Tracing his development as a thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him onward through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time, one of the iconic books of the twentieth century.
