The phenomenal international bestseller from one of the world's greatest scientists
In 1963, Stephen Hawking contracted motor neurone disease and was given two years to live. Yet he went on to Cambridge to become a brilliant researcher and Professorial Fellow at Gonville and Caius College. He held the post of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge, the chair held by Isaac Newton in 1663, for thirty years. Professor Hawking has over a dozen honorary degrees, was awarded the CBE in 1982. He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a Member of the US National Academy of Science.
This app/book version of Hawking's famous laymen book is just an
amazing piece of learning. This makes much more accessible and
understandable the complex and awesome topics dealt by Hawking as
he explains how our universe works. I am just in awe at how
creative he is to produce one of a kind e-book like this. The pace,
illustrations and connections of topics within the book are so
helpful and so appropriate for the new generation used to tweets
and small bites of information. You can flip over some topics when
you have some time, learn some amazing fact, and come back later
which no rush or worry about how fast you are progressing through
the book. Hope other books on complex topics are translated to this
format. And I love the updates of the latest science since the
publication of the original book. We have learned so much in the
last decade that I agree with Hawking, it is an honour to live in
this times.
