Genius

Richard Feynman was the most brilliant and influential physicist of our time. Architect of quantum theories, enfant terrible of the atomic bomb project, caustic inquisitor on the space shuttle commission, ebullient bongo-player and storytellet-Feynman played a bewildering assortment of roles in the science of the post-war era. Genius is a brilliant interweaving of Richard Feyman's colourful life and a detailed and accessible account of his theories and experiments-nearly half a century of which amount to no less than the story of modern physics itself.
