What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a
Curious Character is a captivating collection of reminiscences from
freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman. Richard Feynman
- Nobel Laureate, teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an
unquenchable thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for
telling the extraordinary stories of his life. In this collection
of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of
beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He
takes us behind the scenes of the space shuttle Challenger
investigation, where he dramatically revealed the cause of the
disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met
his beloved first wife Arlene, and their brief time together before
her death. Sometimes intensely moving, sometimes funny, these
writings are infused with Feynman's curiosity and passion for life.
'Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct through these pages' The New
York Times 'Outrageously gifted, iconoclastic, irrepressible ...
Richard Feynman still has the capacity to suprise' Observer 'One of
the greatest minds of the twentieth century ... he was also
stubborn, irreverent, playful, intensely curious and highly
original in practically everything he did' New York Review of Books
'If more scientists were like Feynman, the world really would be a
better, and better understood, place' Independent on Sunday 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.
