About this product

Product Information

In this phenomenal bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman recounts his adventures trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums--and much else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature. Photos.

  • Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

    I was recently introduced to Feynman--essentially because I wanted to do some reading up on the articles that Michael Crichton has quoted in Timeline. One thing led to another and I came across Richard Feynman. I am surprised that I had not read any of his works earlier--or that none of my teachers had ever mentioned him, or his methods of teaching. Simply put, this book is a gem. If you have ever had doubts about the explanations of how things work and have been told "just memorize it" "this is how we do it here" or if you ever felt that authoratative figures are "mortal"-and dont need to be on a pedestal---you need to read this book! I later got his QED--and for the first time I actually understand the basics of light prpogation, and the basics of ...

  • A curios character indeed!

    What an amazing man. Not just his scientific mind but all the other things he did. From the atom bomb to the bongo player. A great read to learn about this man and his interesting outlook on life. It isn't a technical book but there are some stories about physics. If you're not science minded it is still a good book to read as he has many aspects to his life, like safe cracking! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good laugh.

  • Both interesting and fun.

    Great, interesting and fun read. Collection of short stories that tell of quite a life of a genius.
