'His clarity, wit and determination are evident, his understand and
good humour moving' New ScientistMy Brief History recounts Stephen
Hawking's improbable journey, from his post-war London boyhood to
his years of international acclaim and celebrity. Lavishly
illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this concise, witty and
candid account introduces readers to a Hawking rarely glimpsed in
previous books: the inquisitive schoolboy whose classmates
nicknamed him `Einstein', the jokester who once placed a bet with a
colleague over the existence of a black hole, and the young husband
and father struggling to gain a foothold in the world of academia.
Writing with characteristic humility and humour, Hawking opens up
about the challenges that confronted him following his diagnosis of
motor neurone disease aged twenty-one.Tracing his development as a
thinker, he explains how the prospect of an early death urged him
onwards through numerous intellectual breakthroughs, and talks
about the genesis of his masterpiece A Brief History of Time - one
of the iconic books of the twentieth century. Clear-eyed, intimate
and wise, My Brief History opens a window for the rest of us into
Hawking's personal cosmos. 'Read it for the personal nuggets .. .
but above all, it's worth reading for its message of hope' Mail on
