Dear ,
Nobel Prize-winning theoretical physicist Richard P. Feynman was that rarest of scientists, a genius who could make himself understood by anyone.
The Quotable Feynman is a treasure trove of this revered and beloved scientist’s most profound, provocative, humorous, and memorable quotations on a wide range of subjects carefully selected by his daughter, Michelle Feynman.
Join us as Feynman talks with NPR’s Joe Palca about her book and her father’s astonishing yet playful intelligence, focusing on his almost-constitutional inability to be anything other than unconventional, engaging, and inspiring.
The Quotable Feynman (Princeton University Press) is available for signing.
