Description
Richard P. Feynman's life was a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. In this lively work, he recounts his outrageous adventures, from trading ideas on atomic physics with a legendary physicist to cracking the uncrackable safes guarding nuclear secrets.
Through his stories, Feynman's eccentric glory shines through, shattering the stereotype of the stuffy scientist. This reissue includes a new introduction by Bill Gates, offering a fresh perspective on Feynman's remarkable life and work.
With its energetic tone and life-affirming anecdotes, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the life and times of a true original.
