Surely Youre Joking Mr Feynman : Adventures of a Curious Character

Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman is a warm, insightful portrait of Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965. The book presents a series of conversations between Feynman and his friend Ralph Leighton, originally taped and then transcribed nearly unchanged, providing a wise, funny, passionate, and honest self-portrait. Feynman was not only one of the greatest theoretical physicists but also an artist, safecracker, practical joker, and storyteller whose life was full of diverse adventures fueled by his high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity, and eternal skepticism. This edition includes a new introduction by Bill Gates and offers an intimate view of Feynman's humor, wisdom, and curiosity. It consists of 368 pages and is published as a paperback.
