Don't You Have Time to Think? collects the witty, eccentric and
moving letters letters of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P.
Feynman. Richard Feynman was no ordinary genius. Brilliant,
free-spirited and irreverent, he upset those in authority, gave
captivating lectures, wrote equations on napkins in strip joints
and touched countless lives everywhere. He also wrote hundreds of
letters to friends, family, critics, colleagues and devoted fans
around the world. Now these letters have been brought together for
the first time. From down-to-earth advice to eager students to
discussions of time travel and the atom bomb, and from blunt
rebuttals to journalists to poignant exchanges with his first wife
as she lay dying, they will introduce you to a unique person whose
wisdom and lust for life inspired all those who came into his
orbit. 'Nobel-winning physicist, expert bongo-player, safe-cracker
and all-round genius, Feynman was, as this wonderful and inspiring
collection records, also a champion letter-writer ... Witty,
deadpan, warm ... some are unbearably poignant' Guardian
'Plain-speaking ... touching' Daily Telegraph 'He sparked
excitement not just about science but also about the power of
creativity, passion, curiosity' The New York Times Richard P.
Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this century's most brilliant
theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other
books, also available in Penguin, include QED, Six Easy Pieces, Six
Not-so-Easy Pieces, Don't You Have Time to Think, The Pleasure of
Finding Things Out, What Do You Care What Other People Think? and
The Meaning of it All.
