To the public he was a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling \u003ci\u003eA Brief History of Time\u003c\/i\u003e, and yet spent the majority of his life confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed.\u003cbr\u003eHawking's major contribution to science was to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.\u003cbr\u003eJ.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56451615719798,"sku":"9781848310940","price":4.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40204979_b83a7acb-f64c-42b6-8829-23a8694b7c9c.jpg?v=1772685584","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781848310940-introducing-stephen-hawking","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
