This was put on our wish list by a staff member for an advanced science class. During our push around the holidays, I put it on the Amazon gift list as well. A Westie alum and now parent sent it our way.
Stephen Hawking was a math and science genius. He was also a sarcastic comedian, even appearing on The Big Bang Theory, telling Sheldon he made a math error. Unstopped by the neurological disease (ALS) that took his speech and movement, he never stopped searching for answers to those "big questions". His most famous work was in black holes.
Among the questions explored:
Is there a God?
Can we predict the future?
Is time travel possible?
Will we survive on Earth?
This book was in progress at the time of Hawking's death, and was finished with the help of his colleagues and family.
I didn't think I'd be emotionally affected by a book about math, physics, and astronomy, but I teared up a few times in reading this.
Find this with our new books!
