Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character

Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character by Richard Phillips Feynman. audioCD edition. ISBN: 9780786177288.

One of the most famous science books of our time, the phenomenal national bestseller that "buzzes with energy, anecdote and life. It almost makes you want to become a physicist" (Science Digest). Richard Feynman, one of the worlds greatest theoretical physicists, thrived on adventure. His outrageous exploits once shocked a Princeton deans wife to exclaim: "Surely youre joking, Mr. Feynman!" In this phenomenal national bestseller, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist recounts in his inimitable voice his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums, and much else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature. Woven together with his views on science, Feynmans life story is a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, eternal skepticism, and raging chutzpah.
