About this product
Product Information
Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience 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; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric--a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.

Feynman is legendary among his colleagues for his brilliance and his eccentricity.... It's hard not to smile all the way through., A chain reaction is not a bad analogy for Feynman's life. From a critical mass of gray matter it goes off in all directions, producing both heat and light., A storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain. He proves once again that it is possible to laugh out loud and scratch your head at the same time.

The merchandise was in good condition. The packaging was thorough. Don't send me email stating a delivery date if said emails mean nothing. Simply amending the delivery date every time an item doesn't show when it's supposed to approaches unethical.

Other than not being the 510-page book I remember as a child, the purchase is very well-liked. I received it quickly, the price was perfect, and the book arrived in excellent packaging and condition. A very good buy. I'd do it again if I ever need to come back.
