Only once in a great while does a scientist/adventurer like Richard Feynman pass by; even rarer is there a record in his own words, such as the record Feynman leaves here, of the wonders that abounded his life.

Review:
A thoughtful companion volume to the earlier Surely You Are Joking Mr. Feynman!. Perhaps the most intriguing parts of the book are the behind-the-scenes descriptions of science and policy colliding in the presidential commission to determine the cause of the Challenger space shuttle explosion; and the scientific sleuthing behind his famously elegant O-ring-in-ice-water demonstration. Not as rollicking as his other memoirs, but in some ways more profound.
About the Author:
Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was a professor at Cornell University and CalTech and received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1965. In 1986 he served with distinction on the Rogers Commission investigating the space shuttle Challenger disaster.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New hardcover with gray cloth over boards with gilt lettering to spine in a new dust jacket. 8vo. (5 x 1 x 8 inches) B&W photos and illustrations. Text is clean and free of marks and underlining. Includes photos, figures, and index. 258 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy" (The New Yorker) "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" this book's many stories-some funny, others intensely moving-display Richard P. Feynman's unquenchable thirst for adventure and unparalleled ability to recount important moments from his life. Here we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love's irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at nearby Los Alamos. We listen to the fascinating narrative of the investigation into the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in 1986 and relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster's cause through an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. In "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius. Seller Inventory # 200355
