THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT
FEYNMAN, RICHARD P.
"The Pleasure of Finding Things Out" collects the best short works of rule-breaking genius Richard Feynman, showing his passion for knowledge and sense of fun at their most infectious. The revealing and inspiring pieces here span a lifetime of enthusiasm for discovering what makes the world tick - including uproarious tales of early student experiments; safecracking and outwitting US censors during the Second World War; his first lecture as a graduate student (to an audience including Albert Einstein); and the memories of the father who delighted in showing him the world and sparked his insatiable curiosity. "His immense intelligence, irrepressible wit and touching optimism radiate from every page".
