Stephen Hawking: a life in science. Michael White and John Gribbin. 2003.

Stephen Hawking is no ordinary scientist. Across a career that began over thirty years ago at Cambridge University, he has managed to do more than perhaps any other physicist to broaden our basic understanding of the universe. This skilful portrait of an indefatigable genius traces the course of Hawking’s life and science, marrying biography and physics to tell the story of a remarkable man.
