Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

by Richard P. Feynman
RM37.00 MYR
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character
Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

Brilliant mischief, curiosity, and physics in motion

This is perfect if you like smart people who never feel stuffy. Feynman comes across as wildly curious, funny, and gloriously human, turning science, pranks, and everyday adventures into stories that feel alive. You don’t need to be a physics person to enjoy it; the real charm is his infectious way of looking at the world.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

With a new introduction by Bill Gates. In this warm, insightful 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.
