Recalling his nearly two decades as Hawking's collaborator and friend, Leonard Mlodinow brings this complex man into focus in an inspiring and deeply intimate portrayal. We meet Hawking the genius, who explores the mysteries of the universe; Hawking the colleague, who's able to communicate at only six words per minute but who punctuates his conversations with humor; and Hawking the friend, who can convey volumes with a frown, a smile, or simply a raised eyebrow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMlodinow puts us in the room as Hawking indulges his passion for wine and curry, confides his feelings on love, death, and disability, and brilliantly grapples with the deepest questions of philosophy and science. This moving account of a friendship offers us invaluable lessons from one of physics' greatest practitioners about life, the universe, and the ability to overcome daunting obstacles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Mlodinow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1984898396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781984898395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Leonard Mlodinow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048043868415,"sku":"9781984898395","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a937080-77e4-46d3-ba47-ab7d08a6cb41.jpg?v=1684993568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stephen-hawking-leonard-mlodinow-9781984898395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
