About this title

Review:

Feynman's voice echoes raw and direct through these pages.--James Gleick

From the Back Cover:

'There were, it was said, only two ways of solving difficult problems in physics. One was to use mathematics; the other was to ask Feynman'
JOHN NAUGHTON, 'Observer'

Richard P. Feynman, who died in 1988, was indeed a curious character – irreverently funny, sometimes humble, sometimes shamelessly immodest, often profound, but always brilliantly and brimming with an infectios enthusiasm for finding things out.

'What Do You care What Other People Think'
is an engaging collection of stories, memories and letters from the Nobel Prize-winning physicist, accomplished bongo-player and artist, and includes 'Mr Feynman goes to Washington', an account of the vital role he played in the investigation into the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.

'For Feynman, life in general and physics in particular were a hugely exciting game, played with boundless energy and panache'
PAUL DAVIES, 'Guardian'

'There were, it was said, only two ways of solving difficult problems in physics. One was to use mathematics; the other was to ask Feynman'
