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.
