Meet the pioneers of S.T.E.A.M. and discover their fascinating life stories and inspirations with the Masterminds series. Stephen Hawking was a world-famous theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author who made groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of the universe. He wrote the best-selling title "A Brief History of Time," which over the years has become a modern classic, and has helped non-scientists understand and explore big questions about the universe. Masterminds readers will learn how influential figures in S.T.E.A.M., like Hawking, made massive contributions to their fields and how their stories and discoveries remain relevant today.

As an Oxford student, Stephen Hawking never expected that people across the world would know his name, or that his hobby of stargazing would lead him to be one of the world’s greatest scientists. Stephen Hawking made cosmology, or the study of the universe, accessible to everyone. He was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis at the age of twenty-one, but didn’t let that stop him from receiving a graduate degree from Cambridge and going on to be an expert in the scientific origin of the universe and black holes. Hawking is best known for writing A Brief History of Time, which explained cosmology in non-scientific terms so that non-scientists could understand it.
