Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 30-31) and index.

"Do you like to gaze at the stars? So did the young Stephen Hawking. Eventually, he turned his fascination with the night sky into a career of trying to figure out how the universe began and how it works. In college, Hawking studies physics and cosmology, or how the universe came to be. But then he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a disease that shuts down the nerves that control muscles. His doctors thought he had two years to live. Hawking kept studying black holes. He made discoveries that earned him recognition around the world. He wrote books about the universe. More than fifty years after his diagnosis, Hawking still has ALS, but he continues to ponder the night skies, trying to find one theory that will explain the universe." -- Page [4] of cover.
