Synopsis
Richard Feynman, the best-loved scientist of modern times, is also one of the most famous. Physics for Feynman was fun, and he had the extraordinary gift of being able to describe it in such a way that other people could share in his understanding. John and Mary Gribbin have used his own writings, as well as books by people who knew and worked with him, to produce an engaging portrait of a fascinating man and a summary of the significant advances in physics this century.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This text is a portrayal of one of the greatest scientists of the late 20th-century, which also provides a picture of the significant physics of the period.

In 1986, he was able to show that the Challenger disaster was due to the effect of cold on the booster rocket rubber sealings. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR003488720
