Introducing Stephen Hawking
'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.

Shakespeare Comics
Investigating how character, time and art manifest and interact in the visual-verbal medium of Shakespeare comics, Svenn-Arve Myklebost uncovers how this medium (which includes comic books, graphic novels and manga) reframes and interrogates the Shakespeare canon. He argues that comics’ blend of literary narrativity, dramatic action and fine art draw out elements of the plays, their genesis and afterlife that other media cannot capture. Among comics’ distinct affordances are their spatial treatment of time, their ability to mix genres and media, their meta-aspects, their art-historical roots, their position within print culture, their “dramatic” combination of words and visuals, and their generic flexibility – all of which offer new ways to look at Shakespeare’s dramatic and printed production.
