The Last Literary Legacy of a Great Thinker,
By
This review is from: What Do You Care What Other People Think? (Library Edition) (Audio CD)
This follow on to Dr. Feynman's earlier book 'Surely You Are Joking Mr. Feynman!' is a series of tales on diverse subjects that interested Dr. Feynman.
About half of them are concerned with the research into the explosion of the space shuttle 'Challenger' in 1986. This was an involved process mixing science, politics, and public relations. It also retells the tale of Dr. Feynman revealing the disaster's cause by a simple but elegant experiment of dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out misshapen. Other tales include the story of his first wife Arlene dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. Also moving is a tribute to his father who determined that he would be a scientist before he was born. Besides his career as one of the leading physicists of the twentieth century (Nobel Prize), Dr. Feynman excelled at a teacher, and played the bongo drums. His wide range of interests went far beyond the laboratory. |
