Title Description
It's said that a genius performs magic, does things nobody else can do. To his scientific colleagues, Richard Feynman was a magician of the highest caliber. Architect of quantum theories, enfant terrible of the atomic bomb project, critic of the space shuttle commission, winner of the Nobel Prize for his work in particle physics, he left his mark on just about every area of modern physics.

But there was another side to Feynman, one that made him a legend among scientists: he liked to have fun. His curiosity moved well beyond his profession as he taught himself how to play drums, to give massages, to write Chinese, to crack safes. James Gleick shows us the life of a scientist who has forever changed science -- and scientists.

A fascinating subject ruined by an incompetent reading. E.G., the reader pronounces Nobel winner Gell-Mann's name several different ways, even in the chapter that explains the correct way to pronouce his name. Cries to be re-recorded.
