Demonstrates the impact that Richard Feynman made on the world of physics through his work, his teaching, and his personality. This portrait of Feynman is conveyed through essays by his colleagues, including John Wheeler, Freeman Dyson, Murray Gell-Mann and Hans Bethe. |
| Synopsis: |
"A printed eulogy of one of the most interesting and creative physicists of our time...The reader gets fascinating first-person accounts from eminent physicists qua ardent admirers of one who will forever be remembered in the pages of physics." Choice Prominent physicists such as John Wheeler, Freeman Dyson, Hans Bethe, Julian Schwinger, Murray Gell-Mann, David Pines, and others offer intimate reminiscences of their colleague and perceptive explanations of Feynman's trailblazing work. These essays uncover the precocious undergraduate, the young scholar at Cornell, the theoretician in his prime at Caltech, and the mature teacher and mentor. Highlighting both the charm and brilliance of Feynman, "Most of the Good Stuff" is an engrossing collection for enthusiasts--scientists and nonscientists alike--awed and entertained by one of the century's greatest minds. |
