What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character is a
captivating collection of reminiscences from freewheeling scientific genius Richard P. Feynman.
Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate teacher and iconic intellect - possessed an unquenchable
thirst for an adventure and an unparalleled gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his
life. In this collection of short pieces Feynman describes everything from his love of beauty
to college pranks to how his father taught him to think. He takes us behind the scenes of the
space shuttle Challenger investigation where he dramatically revealed the cause of the
disaster with a simple experiment. And he tells us of how he met his beloved first wife Arlene
and their brief time together before her death. Sometimes intensely moving sometimes funny
these writings are infused with Feynman's curiosity and passion for life. 'Feynman's voice
echoes raw and direct through these pages' The New York Times 'Outrageously gifted
iconoclastic irrepressible ... Richard Feynman still has the capacity to suprise' Observer
'One of the greatest minds of the twentieth century ... he was also stubborn irreverent
playful intensely curious and highly original in practically everything he did' New York
Review of Books 'If more scientists were like Feynman the world really would be a better and
better understood place' Independent on Sunday Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of this
century's most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers. Feynman's other books
also available in Penguin include QED Six Easy Pieces Six Not-so-Easy Pieces Don't You Have
Time to Think The Pleasure of Finding Things Out What Do You Care What Other People Think?
and The Meaning of it All.
