Stephen Hawking: A Life in Science

This was an interesting look into the great scientist's personal and professional life. There is much about his two marriages, especially the first to long-suffering Jane Hawking. There is much that reveals the great mind to host an irascible even mean-spirited personality. Since White and co-author John Gribbin have scientific backgrounds, there are gentle introductions to the ideas and concepts advanced and explored by Hawking. There is a fair amount here about his controversial remarks on God and his impressive efforts to advance his own access as a disabled person and help the cause for others.
