Feynman in His Own Words

Next to Einstein, Richard Feynman is one of the best known and most photographed physicists of the 20th century. His memoirs are hugely popular with science aficionados and his "Feynman Lectures on Physics" are a must-have for budding physicists. Now a new book of personal letters written by him and edited by his daughter is being released by Basic Books entitled "Perfectly Reasonable Deviations From the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman." Feynman is best known for his work in quantum physics, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics, working on the Manhattan Project, and for determining the cause of the Space Shuttle Challenger accident. The book is being promoted with a book tour by his daughter as well as panel discussions with prominent physicists who knew Feynman in major cities around the country. The Basic Feynman website contains various memorabilia including his Nobel Prize Speech and video clips of interviews.
