Stephen Hawking is one of the most remarkable figures of our time - a Cambridge genius who has earned international celebrity and become an inspiration to those who have witnessed his triumph over disability. This is Hawking's life story by Kitty Ferguson, written with help from Hawking himself and his close associates. Updated and substantially expanded from her earlier book of 1992, this carefully researched, up to the minute biography gives a rich picture of Hawking's life - his childhood, the heartrending beginning of his struggle with motor neurone disease, his ever-increasing international fame, and his long personal battle for survival in pursuit of a scientific understanding of the universe. Throughout Kitty Ferguson also summarizes and explains the cutting-edge science in which Hawking has been engaged. "Stephen Hawking" is written with the clarity and simplicity for which all Kitty Ferguson's books have been praised. The result is a captivating account of an extraordinary life and mind.

Stephen Hawking is my hero. 翻译这本书的过程中，这句话不断地闪过我的脑海。 小时候，霍金是《时间简史》、《果壳中的宇宙》的作者，是带我开拓了眼界，知道了宇宙还有这么多奇特性质的人。他的《果壳中的宇宙》我翻看了无数遍，虽然里面的文字稍显晦涩，但一张又一张的插图...

非常精彩的霍金传记，作者把霍金的研究(黑洞，奇点，霍金辐射等等)和他生活工作的时间线串在一起，顺畅且不枯燥。对于黑洞、奇点有一定基础概念的读者来说，这本书会有很愉快的阅读体验。作者本人很有意思，毕业于茱莉亚学院，曾是职业音乐人，后来改行做科普作家，笔力不俗，好书好书
