Feynman, Richard Phillips The Pleasure of Finding Things Out [6 UNABRIDGED CASSETTES]
Books on Tape 2000 0-7366-4953-0 / 9780736649537 Audio Cassette Fine
(6 CASSETTES IN ORIGINAL BOX) A Nobel-winning physicist, inveterate prankster and gifted teacher, Feynman (1918-1988) charmed plenty of contemporary and future scientists with acco unts of his misadventures in the bestselling Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feyn man! and explained the fundamentals of physics in (among other books) Six E asy Pieces. Editor Jeffrey Robbins's assemblage of 13 essays, interviews an d addresses (only one of them new to print) will satisfy admirers of those books and other fans of the brilliant and colorful scientist. Best known am ong the selections here is certainly Feynman's "Minority Report to the Chal lenger Inquiry," in which the physicist explained to an anxious nation why the Space Shuttle exploded. The title piece transcribes a wide-ranging, oft en-autobiographical interview Feynman gave in 1981; an earlier talk with Om ni magazine has the author explaining his prize-winning work on quantum ele ctrodynamics, then fixing the interviewer's tape recorder. Other pieces add ress the field of nanotechnology, "The Relation of Science and Religion" an d Feynman's experience at Los Alamos, where he helped create the A-bomb (an d, in his spare time, cracked safes). Much of the work here was originally meant for oral delivery, as speeches or lectures: Feynman's talky informali ty can seduce, but some of the pieces read more like unedited tape transcri pts than like science writing. Most often, however, Feynman remains fun and informative. Here are yet more comments, anecdotes and overviews from a ch arismatic rulebreaker with his own, sometimes compelling, views about what science is and how it can be done. (Oct.) C
