Like "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", this book contains many stories—some funny, others intensely moving—that highlight Richard P. Feynman's unyielding desire for adventure and his incomparable ability to recount significant moments from his life. Here we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him the irresistible mystery of love while she lay in a hospital bed during his work on the atomic bomb near Los Alamos. We hear the captivating account of the investigation into the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986 and relive the moment Feynman revealed the cause of the disaster through an elegant experiment: dropping a rubber ring into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, deformed. In "What Do You Care What Other People Think?", one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century allows us to see the man behind the genius.
