An excellent mixture of biography and science

Revisado: 05-13-19

This really is an excellent balance of biography combined with really accessible explanations of the science that provide the non-physicist/mathematician with enough understanding to appreciate the magnitude of the work this incredible individual did in a life with more than usual challenges. Ms Ferguson's admiration and regard for Dr Hawking comes are apparent, but she does not shy away from the wrinkles that are part of any life.

I do not understand the criticism of some other reviewers that state that there is: 1) too much religion, or even more incomprehensible, 2) that the author has some "chip on her shoulder about his atheism". Neither statements are true, and I suspect say much more about the reviewers than either the book, or Ms Ferguson. Comment on religion has been important part of the discussion of his science and add thoughtful comment on what we understand of the various models and how a deity may or may not, or must or must not, be involved in how we understand the mechanics of existence.

Really an excellent work!
