چه اهمیتی دارد که دیگران چه فکر می‌کنند؟: ماجراهای بیشتر یک شخصیت کنجکاو

Like its predecessor, Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, this volume presents further adventures of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Readers learn the inner workings of the Rogers Commission, the stupifying realities of bureaucratic obfuscation, and the confusion and misjudgement that have plagued NASA in recent years. "Here is the story of how two people most influenced Feynman's early years-his father, who taught him to think, and his first wife Arlene who taught him to love, even as she lay dying in an Albuquerque hospital while Feynman worked nearby, on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. And here are lighter moments, some told through letters, as Feynman reports from Geneva, Trinidad, Greece, and Japan on the effects this curious character has had on the locals. The second half of the book...is Feynman's behind-the-scenes account of the investigation that followed the space shuttle Challenger's explosion in January 1986"--Jacket One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life. I HAVE a friend who's an artist, and he sometimes takes a view which I don't agree with.
