Surely you're joking, Mr Feynman!: adventures of a curious character

Winner Of The Nobel Prize For Physics In 1965, Richard Feynman Was One Of The World's Greatest Theoretical Physicists, But He Was Also A Man Who Fell, Often Jumped, Into Adventure. An Artist, Safecracker, Practical Joker And Storyteller, Feynman's Life Was A Series Of Combustible Combinations Made Possible By His Unique Mixture Of High Intelligence, Unquenchable Curiosity And Eternal Scepticism. Over A Period Of Years, Feynman's Conversations With His Friend Ralph Leighton Were First Taped And Then Set Down As They Appear Here, Little Changed From Their Spoken Form, Giving A Wise, Funny, Passionate And Totally Honest Self-portrait Of One Of The Greatest Men Of Our Age.
