About the Book

This biography aims to fill that void because, of all the scientists of modern time, Feynman seems to have been the one who had the best ‘feel’ for science, who understood physics not simply in terms of equations written on a blackboard, but in some deep, inner sense which enabled him to see to the heart of the subject. Part biography, part scientific explanation, this book is an engaging picture of Richard Feynman, the best-loved scientist of modern time, and also one of the most famous.
