The extraordinary personal autobiography of the world's most famous scientist, written solely and exclusively by Stephen Hawking.
STEPHEN HAWKING was a brilliant theoretical physicist and is

thinkers. He held the position of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics
at the University of Cambridge for thirty years and is the author
of A Brief History of Time which was an international bestseller.
His other books for the general reader include A Briefer History of
Time, the essay collection Black Holes and Baby Universe, The
Universe in a Nutshell, The Grand Design, and Black Holes- The BBC
Reith Lectures.
He died on 14 March, 2018.
Stephen Hawking [has] a brain of enviable vastness, seeing and
understanding things that lie way beyond most of us... His modesty
is engaging
*Daily Mail*
Hawking writes movingly... we hear his voice radiating directly
from the black hole of his motor neuron disease, without the
amplification and elaboration supplied by the co-authors with whom
he wrote his last few books
*Financial Times*
A concise, gleaming portrait
*Nature*
Powerful... [his] brevity makes for a bold picture
*Guardian*
Read it for the personal nuggets... But above all, it's worth
reading for its message of hope
*Mail on Sunday*
Charmingly modest... it's appropriate that this most extraordinary
of men should remain enigmatic
*The Times*
Stephen Hawking has had to overcome extraordinary obstacles in his
life... Where he is most admirable is in his attitude to his
disability - on which he is stoicism personified
*Andrew Holgate, Sunday Times*
His clarity, wit and determination are evident, his understatement
and good humour moving... We will never really know Hawking. But
what we do know - that he achieved extraordinary success against
extraordinary adversity - is quite enough.
*New Scientist*
The book coherently appeals to readers who want a snapshot into
Hawking's inner life and readers eager to trace the evolution of
his thinking.
