Description

A collection of works which shows the author's passion for knowledge and sense of fun at their most infectious. This book contains inspiring pieces which span a lifetime of enthusiasm for discovering what makes the world tick - including uproarious tales of early student experiments, and safecracking and outwitting US censors during the WWII.

Author description

One of the world's greatest theoretical physicists and a Nobel laureate, Richard Feynman was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. An artist, safe-cracker, practical joker and storyteller, his life was a series of combustible combinations made possible by his unique mixture of high intelligence, unquenchable curiosity and eternal scepticism.
