Stephen Hawking is the most important theoretical physicist since Einstein. Best known for his work on black holes, Hawking continues to work on combining quantum mechanics and gravity in a single theory that would explain the origin and structure of the universe. He continues his work despite living with ALS—a condition that makes even the most basic of tasks difficult. In this latest title in the Great Minds of Science series, the life and work of this scientific genius is examined and explained.
