Described by his peers as the finest physicist of his generation,
Richard Feynman defied scientist stereotypes. This brash New York-
born American physicist startled the more conservative giants of
European physics with his endless ability to improvise. Indeed,
later in life, Feynman became an accomplished bongo player.
Feynman's legacy to physics was his ability to simplify complex
equations and clarify fundamental principles through the use of
graphs. He developed the theory of quantum electrodynamics, which
illustrates the behavior of electrically charged particles, such
as electrons, and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation.
From his calculations as part of the Manhattan Project team to his
role investigating the Challenger space shuttle explosion, this
clearly written title delves into the fascinating life and work
of this influential scientist.
