Notes

Typical Feynman book. Pleasant. It'll make you smile. But, very repetitive because it revisits the same topics but in multiple forms (letters, speeches, etc.).

Also, did you hear he was scientist who figured the O-Ring thing out on the Challenger?!

... I wonder if any of the Feynman books don't devote a chapter to that.

Description edit

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is a magnificent treasury of the best short works of Richard P. Feynman—from interviews and speeches to lectures and printed articles. A sweeping, wide-ranging collection, it presents an intimate and fascinating view of a life in science-a life like no other. From his ruminations on science in our culture to his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, this book will fascinate anyone interested in the world of ideas.
