The outrageous exploits of one of this century’s greatest scientific minds and a legendary American original.
Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts, in his inimitable voice, trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; and accompanying a ballet on his bongo drumsand much else of an eyebrow-raising nature. In short, here is Feynman’s life in all of its eccentricities: a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
