Book Description
An unparalleled collection of the timeless writings of
one of science's most beloved and original thinkers.
The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is a magnificent
treasury of the best short works of Richard Feynman-from
interviews and speeches to lectures and printed articles. A
sweeping, wide-ranging collection, it presents an intimate
and fascinating view of a life in science-a life like no
other.
From his ruminations on science in our culture and
descriptions of the fantastic properties of quantum physics
to his report on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster and
his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, this book will fascinate
anyone interested in Feynman and anyone interested in the
world of ideas. Newcomers to Feynman will be moved by his wit
and deep understanding of the natural world, and of the human
experience.
