Publisher's Summary

From the author of the national best seller Chaos comes an outstanding biography of one of the most dazzling and flamboyant scientists of the 20th century that "not only paints a highly attractive portrait of Feynman but also . . . makes for a stimulating adventure in the annals of science." (The New York Times).

Touching

Great recount of Feynman's life and the history of physics throughout it, including the tear-jerking moments. It makes me sad that I was born too late to know about him while he was still alive.
