About this product

Product Information

Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him--how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book--based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963--shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people's distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can't read, just look at the spelling of "friend"); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman--reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.

Marginal at best.
While Feynman is brilliant, this book is not the best. A compendium of three nights of his speeches, a person would be better off watching the free online videos of Feynman, than taking the time to read this.

Feynman is a paragon.
A clear look into the ordinary-type thoughts of a brilliant physicist and fascinating human being. Richard Feynman is enchanting and inspiring in all that he has left us. I purchased this book because I believe that nothing given to us by him should be left unperused.
