Stephen Hawking (born January 8, 1942) is a British scientist, professor and
author who has done ground breaking work in physics and cosmology, and whose books
have helped to make science accessible to everyone. At the age of 21, while studying
cosmology at the University of Cambridge, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS). Part of his life story was depicted in the 2014 film The Theory of
Everything.
Over the years, Stephen Hawking has written or co-written a total of 15 books. A
few of the most noteworthy include:
In 1988 Hawking catapulted to international prominence with the publication of A
Brief History of Time. The short, informative book became an account of cosmology for
the masses and offered an overview of space and time, the existence of God and the
future. The work was an instant success, spending more than four years atop the ‘London
Sunday Times’ best-seller list. Since its publication, it has sold millions of copies
worldwide and been translated into more than 40 languages.
A Brief History of Time also wasn’t as easy to understand as some had hoped. So
in 2001, Hawking followed up his book with The Universe in a Nutshell, which offered
a more illustrated guide to cosmology’s big theories.
