Capturing Hawking's indomitable spirit, Stephen Hawking opens a window into not only the inner workings of one of physics’ greatest minds, but also into an extraordinary friendship and the human capacity to overcome insurmountable challenges, while also offering readers invaluable lessons about life, the universe, and the ability to overcome daunting obstacles.
