What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures Of A Curious Character

The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely YouÆre Joking, Mr. Feynman!" Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy" (The New Yorker) "Surely YouÆre Joking, Mr. Feynman!" this bookÆs many storiesùsome funny, others intensely movingùdisplay Richard P. FeynmanÆs unquenchable thirst for adventure and unparalleled ability to recount important moments from his life. Here we meet FeynmanÆs first wife, Arlene, who taught him of loveÆs irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at nearby Los Alamos. We listen to the fascinating narrative of the investigation into the space shuttle ChallengerÆs explosion in 1986 and relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disasterÆs cause through an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. In "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius.
