A Nobel Prize-winning physicist, a loving husband and father,
an enthusiastic teacher, a surprisingly accomplished bongo player,
and a genius of the highest caliber---Richard P. Feynman was all
these and more. Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten
Track--collecting over forty years'' worth of Feynman''s
letters--offers an unprecedented look at the writer and thinker
whose scientific mind and lust for life made him a legend in his
own time. Containing missives to and from such scientific
luminaries as Victor Weisskopf, Stephen Wolfram, James Watson, and
Edward Teller, as well as a remarkable selection of letters to and
from fans, students, family, and people from around the world eager
for Feynman''s advice and counsel, Perfectly Reasonable Deviations
From the Beaten Track not only illuminates the personal
relationships that underwrote the key developments in modern
science, but also forms the most intimate look at Feynman yet
available. Feynman was a man many felt close to but few really
knew, and this collection reveals the full wisdom and private
passion of a personality that captivated everyone it touched.
Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track is an
eloquent testimony to the virtue of approaching the world with an
inquiring eye; it demonstrates the full extent of the Feynman
legacy like never before. Edited and with additional commentary by
his daughter Michelle, it''s a must-read for Feynman fans
everywhere, and for anyone seeking to better understand one of the
towering figures--and defining personalities--of the twentieth
century.
關於作者：
Richard P. Feynman was raised in Far Rockaway, New York, and
received his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1942. He played an important
role in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II, and
went on to professorships at both Cornell University and the
California Institute of Technology, where his unconventional
lecture style secured his reputation as one of the greatest
teachers of his era. In 1965 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his
work on the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
Besides his work as a physicist, Feynman was at various times an
artist, raconteur, bongo player, and safecracker, as well as the
author of many books, including the bestselling Surely You''re
Joking, Mr. Feynman!, The Feynman Lectures on Physics, and Six Easy
Pieces, named one of the best 100 nonfiction books of the twentieth
century by The Modern Library. He died in 1988. Michelle Feynman
lives with her husband and two children in Altadena,
California.
