W. W. Norton & Company "What Do You Care What Other People Think?": Further Adventures of a Curious Character

El libro es una de especie de reseña de varios acontecimientos en la vida diaria académica y personal de uno de los grandes científicos americanos del siglo XX (ganó el premio nobel física) el Prof. Dr. Richard Feynman (estudió su licenciatura en física en MIT y su doctorado en la U de Princeton). Su carrera profesional académica la realizó trabajando en el Instituto Tecnológico de California (conocido por sus siglas en inglés como Caltech).

Interesting. Loved the stories. The space shuttle bit is a bit long and detailed, but interesting all the same. Would recommend.

It seems that you hear Feynman's name here and there all the time although the man has been dead now for awhile. Since my focus in life wasn't physics, I missed out on knowing anything about this brilliant man until I finally decided to read his books and find out for myself who he was and what he discovered. I didn't expect such a humorous guy to pop out of the pages of this book, but he did pop out and not only presented himself to me, but entertained me with his tales enough that I started to feel like I really missed out when I avoided learning physics. Just reading his narrative made me want to know more and as Feynman said you are never finished with learning things. While I suspect Quantum Mechanics is beyond my capabilities, this book gave me a great appreciation for the field and the man. If you read this book, you'll discover a fine sense of humor that existed along with brilliant insights into the universe in this one man. I recommend it.

A book that explains some points of Richards’ life, such as, your wife e her illness. I never understood how he worked in Los Alamos in this situation and this book shows this. Of middle the book ahead there is the Richards’ point of view about the Challenge investigation. Very interesting!
