Book description
Richard Feynman Nobel Laureate, teacher, icon and genius
possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled
gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life.
In this collection of short pieces and reminiscences he describes
everything from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father
taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the space
shuttle Challenger investigation, where he dramatically
revealed the cause of the disaster with a simple experiment. And he
tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief
time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes
funny, these writings are infused with Feynman s curiosity and passion
for life.
