A BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR (The Telegraph, The Guardian)
A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (New Statesmen)
One of the most influential physicists of our time, Stephen Hawking changed our understanding of the cosmos. Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking's collaborator and friend, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in an inspiring and deeply intimate portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius, who explores the mysteries of the universe; Hawking the colleague, who's able to communicate at only six words per minute but who punctuates his conversations with humor; and Hawking the friend, who can convey volumes with a frown, a smile, or simply a raised eyebrow.
Mlodinow puts us in the room as Hawking indulges his passion for wine and curry, confides his feelings on love, death, and disability, and brilliantly grapples with the deepest questions of philosophy and science. This moving account of a friendship offers us invaluable lessons from one of physics' greatest practitioners about life, the universe, and the ability to overcome daunting obstacles.

Even Stephen Hawking's brain was not a computer; fellow physicistLeonard Mlodinow provides a warm and three-dimensional portrait of a brilliant and stubborn human being,rather than simply a genius in a chair
One of the most touching biographies of the yearshows the human side of the great physicist Stephen Hawking, as seen by his friend and collaborator Leonard Mlodinow.With admirably easy-to-grasp digressions into favourite subjects such as Einstein, dark energy and black holes, Mlodinow tells us about Hawking the man
A personal and intellectual biography - and tremendously entertaining. . . Leonard Mlodinow is himself a theoretical physicist, and a brilliant writer to boot. . .Five stars
Hawking's collaborator retells his story with humour and fondness, and helps us know the famous scientist as he really was. . . Highly enjoyable. . . a tender account, full of genuine affection, which doesn't shy away from Hawking's intense focus, self-centredness and unpredictability
A compelling read. . . fresh and worthwhile. As a serious theoretical physicist who co-wrote two books with Hawking,Leonard Mlodinow saw the great man from a unique vantage point. He can delve into intimate details and survey the intellectual high ground
Leonard Mlodinow has done the impossible. He has skillfully woven togethera thoughtful, insightful, intimate, and engaging portraitof Stephen Hawking, one of the greatest minds of our times, while being scrupulously faithful to the physics.Hawking would have been proud of this book
Startlingly good ... What really comes over is his modest delight that he made a friend of such an eminent man.Mlodinow explains the science with a clarity and an elegance.You will learn from this what you signally failed to learn from A Brief History of Time
Stephen Hawking was a unique scientist and person, and Leonard Mlodinow's book is a unique glimpse into how he worked and lived. As educational as it is touching, this is a deeply human look at a mind that spanned the cosmos
Despite the acclaim, there is still much to discover about Steven Hawking ... theoretical physicist Leonard Mlodinow offers an intimate glimpse inside the famous scientist's life
Hugely enjoyable. . . fresh and compelling. Instead of the spellbound exaltation of a great mind, it isa humane and intimate portrayal of a brilliant scientist. It is also written from a special vantage point. Mlodinow, a theoretical physicist and gifted author, spent several years working with Hawking, co-writing two books. Their working sessions form the narrative backbone of thisemotionally satisfying and intellectually stimulatingmemoir John Paul Rathbone, Financial Times
Anintimate, unique, and inspiringperspective on the life and work of one of the greatest minds of our time. Filled with insight, humour, and never-before-told stories, it's a view of Stephen Hawking that few have seen and all will appreciate

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
An icon of the last fifty years, Stephen Hawking seems to encapsulate genius: not since Albert Einstein has a scientific figure held such a position in popular consciousness. In this enthralling memoir, writer and physicist Leonard Mlodinow tells the story of his friend and their friendship, offering an intimate account of this giant of science.
The two met in 2003, when Stephen asked Leonard if he would consider writing a book with him, the follow up to the bestselling A Brief History of Time. As they spent years working on a second book, The Grand Design, they forged a deep connection and Leonard gained a much better understanding of Stephen's daily life and struggles - as well as his compassion and good humour. Together they obsessed over the perfect sentence, debated the physics, and occasionally punted on Cambridge's waterways with champagne and strawberries. In time, Leonard was able to finished Stephen's jokes, chide his sporadic mischief, and learn how the hardships of his illness helped forge that unique perspective on the universe.
