Satu lagi kisah Feynman dari sudut pandang ahli keluarga, sahabat, artis, orang awam dan saintis ternama yang lain

A mosaic portrait made up of impressions by and about this very human, deep-feeling man. Many personal photos and words show his qualities:
Quirky, courageous, funny, compassionate, and nobody's fool, who could conceive that in one life a person could go from being a young working-class kid to university, falling in love and standing by the person you love as she faces the greatest of life's challenges (her own approaching death)at a very young age, believing you're fighting the Nazis by working on the Manhattan Project to build the world's first atom bomb, and later feeling deeply critical about this and speaking out against it...
Ever the iconoclast, he encouraged all young people who wrote to him to follow their own path regardless of what others thought, and wasn't afraid to play his beloved bongos as he traveled everywhere around the world, including when going to accept the Nobel Prize for physics.
He was also not afraid to tangle with power politics in Washington DC and at NASA when he wrote a dissenting opinion that was published as part of the official investigation into the Challenger space shuttle disaster. He exposed how bureaucrats deliberately overlooked design flaws in the now infamous "O" rings in order to meet public deadlines, even as he himself was dying of cancer.
A truly remarkable man. His humanity shines through in this book, as it also does in his letters collected in the book, "Don't You Have Time to Think?"

This illustrated biography of the genius physicist Richard Feynman is an engrossing account of the remarkable man.

Imagine watching a documentary about Richard Feynman, with photos and interviews with Feynman's friends, family, and colleagues, as well as Feynman himself. This book was based on a series of Feynman documentaries, so it's basically like reading a documentary.

It's very similar, in style and content, to the Feynman autobiographies (Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?). You get to know Feynman as having the curiosity and honesty of a child, but the intellect - and associated quirks - of a genius. One difference between this book and the others is that Feynman actually comes across as less arrogant in this book because Feynman's own words are interspersed with others' (favorable) opinions of him as well. You get to see that Feynman was really a remarkable person who touched a lot of people's lives in many ways well beyond physics. He was incredibly multifaceted, with interests ranging from bongo drums to Tuva (an erstwhile country at the center of Asia).

This book also includes excerpts of Feynman talking physics, which the other books don't have. Feynman really had a gift for analogies, and he's able to explain even complex concepts in simple, every day terms.

I have read many books on Feynman.

Among all these books, this one is a favorite of mine, as it captures many of the facets of this extraordinary person, a very unusual and normal guy.

This book is also unusual in the sense that it presents Feynman as seen by many persons that knew him well, and also as seen by Feymman himself.

Kind regards, GEN

I purchased it and looked through it, before the arson.
Someone, did not comprehend #Feynman.

I lost this book in an arson of my home, it was planned by Two Frequency ElectroMagnatic waves planning the arson of my home after it bombs all the Libyan who ended Slavery of Africa by the United States in the Barbary Wars 1800~18015, in which Thomas Jefferson co-operated in the defeat of the United States to the Cidi Al-Masry and Marines is Arab Navy verse US Navy that then took on the Son Kill All Dark people until we move into the homes on all shores named Tripoly, and they are a few of them in the Mediterranean. The US navy has not finished killing all of Netanyahu's blond family but will be moving in to replace them, after adopting its military strategy, just as the british national song choir song /kill all farmers of sheep and writers of not-english texts until some day #jerusalem/.

I purchased it and looked through it, before the arson.
Someone, did not comprehend #Feynman.

They locked onto the story of his dad saying all the names mean nothing, all the fonetiq in trhe world dso not matter, no person cares about their name, you just have to know how to locate the mental structure of their reasoning.

book cover, should reveal smart people are being murdered by #GW3, and they usually do it by placing them in social desert

I red the top review, in his 60's Feynman was disgusted with a Trump Penthouse Hotel Suite, and announced he refused to sleep in whatever this place was, and went outside claiming sleeping in the woods is better than sleeping in the latest man has to offer.

The moment Feynman was most alive, was when he walked back and forth in the desert under the fence of the jailed prison camp the united states locked all smart people in while killing all the jews in europe. Or the letter between him and his wife, that were all blacked out, because it reveals that the soldier in the USNAVY ship who had to Sue the Navy, was a False Totem Sacrifice that was staged to project a false standard beyond the H #GW3 genome standards highest potential even if GMO and all forces come to gether to Clone that soldier. His words and his moment superior the master Play Skit "Free & Accepted Mason" kill all the Hiram Abiff, via a play of their professions.

Again the Letters that were edited, and the Desert.
Back cover should be where he invented the first parallel computer processor, or pipeline graphics processor.
#1GlobalDesert, all this false regret of nuclear waste, must be recognized in any story about the men who invented the problem and who or what circumstances cause the smart to advance the #1GlobalDesert initiative of 1215AD and wars going back to times before the 0600AD AlKorawn. ~Al-Qur'an, Alcoran.

Nobel Prize physicist started learning geometric maths before he could even speak. haha It's just like how Mark Zuckerberg taught his 8-month old daughter quantum physics :)
