In this phenomenal bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P.

A mad scientist's droll view at a serious events
Somebody leant me this book. I enjoyed it so much so I bought it for friends I knew would like it, logical people with a wry humor. Dick Feynman was a brilliant Nobel Prize winning Scientist on the Manhattan Project, the project to build the atomic bomb. In this book of various anecdotes, he reflects on his experiences that were happening in his life around the time. Although he is brilliant it was not difficult to understand and get a great laugh. His experience in safe-cracking is side-splitting. Get the book for that one chapter alone.

This is one of the most entertaining books you will ever read. If you enjoyed "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out", another of Feynman's books, you will surely enjoy this book.

Was very pleased with the speed and product. Was a reading requirement for my daughters physics class and I could only have received it faster if i had found one in a local bookstore.
