Stephen Hawking: su vida, sus teorías y su influencia

Just like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking became an icon of science and was known by millions of people who know nothing or very little about the work he did. The image of a brilliant mind trapped in a defective body fostered fascination for him as a man, even though the topics he studied, such as black holes, the origin of the universe, and the end of time, were fascinating in themselves. This book presents the image of a scientist with whom everyone could identify, and whom is admired for the way he overcame his physical limitations. These pages, which include the life, theories, and influence of this great man, invite everyone to participate in the magic of science at the frontiers of knowledge. [...]My goal is simple. It is about the complete understanding of the universe: why it is as it is and to what it owes its existence
