內容簡介
內容簡介 諾貝爾獎得主、物理學大師、出色的科學教育家費曼，幽默敏銳、率真熱情、關懷人類；特別是在科學領域有過人的秉賦，常運用高妙的思考方式破人所難解的謎題。本書與《別鬧了，費曼先生！》 齊名，是透析科學奇才費曼博士一生精采事蹟的另一門徑。全書包含兩大部分，第一部分談及費曼父親與眾不同的教育方式，與第一任妻子的生死摯愛，與第三任妻子的相知相惜，以及費曼在生活和藝術等方面的種種觀察與投入。第二部分談到費曼此生的最後一次探險──參與「挑戰者號」太空梭失事原因調查，清晰呈現出一位傑出科學家的洞悉力和思考方式。本中文書介出自《你管別人怎麼想》遠見天下文化出版股份有限公司出版The New York Times best-selling sequel to "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! "Like the "funny, brilliant, bawdy " (The New Yorker) "Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman! " this book’s many stories—some funny, others intensely moving—display Richard P. Feynman’s unquenchable thirst for adventure and unparalleled ability to recount important moments from his life.Here we meet Feynman’s first wife, Arlene, who taught him of love’s irreducible mystery as she lay dying in a hospital bed while he worked on the atomic bomb at nearby Los Alamos. We listen to the fascinating narrative of the investigation into the space shuttle Challenger’s explosion in 1986 and relive the moment when Feynman revealed the disaster’s cause through an elegant experiment: dropping a ring of rubber into a glass of cold water and pulling it out, misshapen. In "What Do You Care What Other People Think? " one of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century lets us see the man behind the genius."
