| Zusammenfassung: | "Some people say, ‘How can you live without knowing?’ I do not know what they mean. I always live without knowing. That is easy. How you get to know is what I want to know."—Richard P. FeynmanNobel Prize–winning physicist Richard P. Feynman (1918–88) was that rarest of creatures—a towering scientific genius who could make himself understood by anyone and who became as famous for the wit and wisdom of his popular lectures and writings as for his fundamental contributions to science. The Quotable Feynman is a treasure-trove of this revered and beloved scientist’s most profound, provocative, humorous, and memorable quotations on a wide range of subjects.Carefully selected by Richard Feynman’s daughter, Michelle Feynman, from his spoken and written legacy, including interviews, lectures, letters, articles, and books, the quotations are arranged under two dozen topics—from art, childhood, discovery, family, imagination, and humor to mathematics, politics, science, religion, and uncertainty. These brief passages—about 500 in all—vividly demonstrate Feynman’s astonishing yet playful intelligence, and his almost constitutional inability to be anything other than unconventional, engaging, and inspiring. Together, the quotations create a unique, illuminating, and enjoyable portrait of Feynman’s life and thought that will be treasured by his fans at the same time that they provide an ideal introduction to Feynman for readers new to this intriguing and important thinker.The book features some previously unpublished quotations, a personal preface by Michelle Feynman, a chronology of Richard Feynman’s life, some twenty photos of Feynman, a section of memorable quotations about Feynman from other notable figures, and an index.Features:Approximately 500 quotations, some of them previously unpublished, arranged by topicA chronology of Feynman’s lifeA personal preface by Feynman’s daughter, |
