Stephen Hawking

A great addition to any home as well as science & literacy classrooms! * Educate Empower * It is packed full to the brim with well-researched information trimmed into short, double-page chapters This book will find itself well-used in a library setting, or in a school environment where children are researching Stephen Hawkings and his ground-breaking research. Children with a keen interest in space, physics and big questions about the universe, will find much information in the book to keep their minds busy and exploring well into the future. * Kids Books NZ * This is the latest book in a series of four remarkable scientists. Anita Croy gives young readers in the age group of 10-13 an understanding of who Stephen Hawking was, beginning with his life as a child, his years at school and the influences that led him to his academic path. * School Days Magazine * Expecting the text to be rudimentary in its approach based upon the heavy use of images and a general intermediate level feel to the language, there was a very pleasant surprise to see how intellectual and yet so accessible the text is. The information is presented logically and with pace meaning that even younger readers won't become disengaged with the information. Of the scientists in recent history who have become household names, surely Hawking is at the top of the list. His wheelchair and disability seemed to accentuate his intellectual prowess rather than inhibit his ability to contribute. * NZ Booklovers * a very dynamic book in that it covers so many aspects relating to the cosmos but it is also a book that 'opens a door' to those students aged 9 to 14 years who are interested in astronomy and space.' * Science Teacher's Association of Victoria *
