Product Information
A portrait of the Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, we see the wisdom, humour and curiosity of Richard Feynman through a series of conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safecracker, practical joker and storyteller, Feynman's life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism. Over a period of years, Feynman's conversations with his friend Ralph Leighton were first taped and then set down as they appear here, little changed from their spoken form, giving a wise, funny, passionate and totally honest self-portrait of one of the greatest men of our age.Product Identifiers

One of the best books ever, without exaggeration.
Fun, enlightening, mostly light-hearted but also very deep in many places. Full of simple but not always obvious wisdom and truth about life. This guy's passion for understanding the world and a knack for finding unique and fun ways of doing that is extremely inspiring!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
