What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Characterby Richard P Feynman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. What Do You Care What Other People Think? is Feynman's last literary legacy, which he prepared as he struggled with cancer. Among its many tales — some funny, others intensely moving — we meet Feynman's first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love's irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. We are also given a fascinating narrative of the investigation of the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in 1986, and we relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster's cause by an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. Review:" Review:"The book's second half is the high point; it is topical, entertaining, and illuminating, and telells of Feynman's work on the Rogers Commission, which investigated the Challenger space shuttle disaster." Library Journal Synopsis:One of the greatest physicists of the 20th century, Richard Feynman, possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure, and leaves a literary legacy in this work in the "New York Times" bestseller, which he prepared as he struggled with cancer.
