Further Adventures of a Curious Character
Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and a winner of the Nobel Prize died in February 1988. This is his last anecdotal biography in which he tells the story of the two people who most influenced his early years - his father who taught him to think and his first wife Arlene who taught him to love, even as she lay dying at an Albuquerque hospital while Feynman worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos.
