Representaion As Books My Brief History
La mente maravillosa de Stephen Hawking ha deslumbrado al mundo entero revelando los misterios del universo. Ahora, por primera vez, el cosmólogo más brillante de nuestra era explora, con una mirada reveladora, su propia vida y evolución intelectual. Breve historia de mi vida cuenta el sorprendente viaje de Stephen Hawking desde su niñez en el Londres de la posguerra a sus años de fama internacional. Espléndidamente ilustrada con fotografÃas poco conocidas, esta autobiografÃa concisa, ingeniosa y sincera presenta a un Hawking raramente vislumbrado en sus libros anteriores: el alumno inquisitivo cuyos compañeros de clase apodaron «Einstein»; el bromista que una vez hizo una apuesta con un colega sobre los agujeros negros; o el joven padre de familia que se esforzó por hacerse un sitio en el mundo académico. Escrito con su humildad y humor caracterÃsticos, Hawking se sincera sobre los desafÃos a los que se enfrentó tras ser diagnosticado, con 21 años, de esclerosis lateral amiotrófica. Traza su desarrollo como pensador, explica cómo la perspectiva de una muerte temprana lo empujó hacia numerosos desafÃos intelectuales y habla sobre la génesis de su obra maestra, Historia del tiempo, sin duda una de las obras más importantes del siglo xx.Describe Containing Books My Brief History

This is an autobiography of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking. He is one person who has probably inspired me the most in my life. His book A brief history of time made me fall in love with physics more than a decade back. So happy that I read this book finally about him and his research.He talks about his childhood, his parents and siblings in the first few chapters. One interesting fact is that I could relate to his father a lot. His father sounded so much like my own father sometimes. ThenThis book was short and sweet! :)
Some lives of scientists are incredibly interesting. Newtons personal life is the source of endless debate and fascination, and there are whole cults devoted to the life of Richard Feynman. (Even Hawking recounts some amusing anecdotes told by Feynman.) So I had high expectations for hearing about the life of Stephen Hawking. This memoir, however, struck me as uneven in quality. Some of it had too much detail given to the most quotidian events. For example, Hawking names every friend he ever
This was a wonderful introduction to his early research and the his life surrounding that time.
This is a very straightforward, short recount of Stephen Hawking's life told by himself. It is beyond inspiring and it left me in complete awe for this man but it was not full of sentimental heartfelt chapters describing his endless struggles in life and his battle against his disability. On the contrary, this was mostly facts, facts, facts with the occasional pondering here and there. It was not at all difficult to read and only had scientific-talk when he described his accomplishments and the
How does one review someone's life? It's probably one of the harder things to do, especially with such an icon as Stephen Hawking. I'll admit that I'm one of those people who has a copy of A Brief History of Time , but I haven't read it yet (I'm going to, I swear!).My Brief History by Dr. Stephen Hawking is his personal memoir. For those who don't know who Stephen Hawking is, he is a theoretical physicist, cosmologist and the Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the
I really enjoyed this. You can tell he is a scientist as he gets down to the facts and doesnt waste any words but somehow I found, for biographies, that kind of works really well. Its also far from a dry read as Hawkings humour appears throughout the book. Very interesting.
