Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!

Richard Feynman (1918-1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador and much else in an eyebrow raising nature. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric glory; a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah.

One of the most famous science books of our time, the phenomenal national bestseller that "buzzes with energy, anecdote and life. It almost makes you want to become a physicist” - Science Digest

"A storyteller in the tradition of Mark Twain. He proves once again that it is possible to laugh out loud and scratch your head at the same time." - New York Times Book Review

"Books like this are temptations-to give up reading and devote life to rereading.... The book is a litmus paper: anyone who can read it without laughing out loud is bad crazy." -Los Angeles Times Book Review
