With a unique combination of dazzling intellect and touching
simplicity, Feynman had a passion for physics that was merely the
Nobel Prize-winning part of an immense love of life and everything
it could offer. He was hugely irreverent and always completely
honest with himself, with his colleagues, and with nature. No
Ordinary Genius traces Feynman's remarkable adventures inside and
outside science, in words and more than one-hundred photographs,
many of them supplied by his family and close friends. The words
are often his own and those of family, friends, and colleagues such
as his sister, Joan Feynman; his children, Carl and Michelle;
Freeman Dyson; Hans Bethe; Daniel Hillis; Marvin Minsky; and John
Archibald Wheeler. The book gives vivid insight into the mind of a
great creative scientist at work and at play, and it challenges the
popular myth of the scientist as a cold reductionist dedicated to
stripping romance and mystery from the natural world. Feynman's
wonderfully infectious enthusiasm shines through in his photographs
and in his tales."
