  'An ideal introduction [to Stephen Hawking]' - Independent
  'Astonishingly comprehensive - clearer than Hawking himself' - Focus
  
  Stephen Hawking was a world-famous physicist with a cameo in The Simpsons on his CV, but outside of his academic field his work was little understood. To the public he was a tragic figure - a brilliant scientist and author of the 9 million-copy-selling A Brief History of Time, and yet spent the majority of his life confined to a wheelchair and almost completely paralysed.
  
  Hawking's major contribution to science was to integrate the two great theories of 20th-century physics: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
  
  J.P. McEvoy and Oscar Zarate's brilliant graphic guide explores Hawking's life, the evolution of his work from his days as a student, and his breathtaking discoveries about where these fundamental laws break down or overlap, such as on the edge of a Black Hole or at the origin of the Universe itself.

  In prison, you hear a lot of stories. Whether they are from criminals trying to make themselves more intimidating or men sharing fragments of their pasts in an attempt to piece it all back together. Some of the stories are horrifying, some violent, but the ones that scare you the most are the ones that are true.Like the one about Albert Pike, the mild-mannered prison librarian that, despite his age, everyone seems to fear. Or the one about the ouija board carved into the floor of the prison, the man who talks to other people in his cell at night, even though he’s alone or the strange punishments delivered to the wicked, by those who are wickeder still.Those stories truly haunt you, because though the bars keep the prisoners in, they don’t keep the dark thing out.
