Description
Stephen Hawking es una de las figuras más notables de nuestro tiempo: un genio de Cambridge que se ha ganado la fama internacional como un brillante físico teórico y que se ha convertido en una fuente de inspiración para aquellos que han sido testigos de su valiente triunfo sobre su discapacidad. Para este libro Kitty Ferguson, conocida por su capacidad de traducir el lenguaje de la física teórica para un público científico, ha contado con la colaboración del propio Hawking y de sus colaboradores más cercanos. Hace veinte años, una primera versión de este libro se convirtió en un gran éxito de ventas. Ahora, la autora vuelve sobre el tema en una cuidada biografía ampliada y actualizada, que nos permite conocer a Hawking desde su infancia, el comienzo desgarrador de su lucha con la enfermedad neurodegenerativa cuando era aún un estudiante de posgrado, su creciente fama internacional y su larga batalla por la supervivencia personal en la búsqueda de una comprensión científica del universo. A lo largo de la obra también se resume y explica a los profanos la ciencia de vanguardia con la que Hawking se ha comprometido. Ricamente ilustrado con fotografías, Stephen Hawking: su vida y obra está escrito con claridad y sencillez . El resultado es un relato fascinante de una vida extraordinaria y la obra de una mente privilegiada.
