The topics include Hawkings early lack of focus as a college student; the impact of ALS on his career & personal life; his groundbreaking work on radiating black holes; his later cutting-edge theories of black holes cosmology & the anthropic principle; the amazing publishing success of A Brief History of Time"; & his status as a pop icon & spokesperson for the interplay of science & society. Larsen situates Hawkings sometimes-controversial work within the broader context of scientific peer review & public debate & discusses his personal life with compassion respect & honesty." ...
