Stephen Hawking

Author

Stephen Hawking was a British theoretical physicist and cosmologist who was one of the most famous scientists of the modern era. Born in Oxford in 1942, he held the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics at Cambridge and became a global celebrity through his bestselling book A Brief History of Time, despite living with motor neurone disease for... over fifty years. Black Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays is a collection of his essays on cosmology, physics, and his personal life, making complex scientific concepts accessible with his characteristic clarity and dry wit. Hawking's ability to communicate the wonders of the universe to non-specialists was unmatched. Hawking died in 2018. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers accessible, mind-expanding science from one of the greatest physicists in history — books that make the universe comprehensible.
