Rendition Supposing Books The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman

El placer de descubrir permite acceder al mundo personal, social y cientíco de Richard Feynman, por ejemplo, a sus aventuras mientras participó en el Proyecto Manhattan, cuando se divertía —y escandalizaba— descifrando las claves de cajas fuertes, o a cómo se inició, siendo un niño, en el estudio de la naturaleza (en el «placer de descubrir»), que terminaría ocupando toda su vida. Podemos, asimismo, conocer sus pioneras ideas sobre las computadoras del futuro, su opinión acerca del valor de la ciencia o la explicación, tan sencilla como profunda, que dio al desastre de la lanzadera espacial Challenger. Es este, sin duda, un libro tan fascinante como su autor.

Richard Feynman is one of my heroes, and this short, very accessible book compiles some of his most engaging writings, as well as a couple of interviews and the report he wrote on the space shuttle Challenger disaster. It's not as biographical as Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!: Adventures of a Curious Character or as technical as Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics By Its Most Brilliant Teacher, and I think this would be a good place to start for anyone interested in learning about this

Short and sweet. It's a beautifully inspirational account of what a love of math and physics feels like, on the inside. Highly recommended to anyone who doesn't feel warm and fuzzy about math or physics.

I enjoyed What Do You Care What Other People Think? so much I picked this up and jumped right in. There is some overlap in the stories between these two works (and apparently in his other more famous work Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!). I continue to enjoy the perspective that Feynman brings to life. He wants to better understand the world and enjoys solving problems, getting a "kick out of the discovery" of a solution that others can use. Feynman embraces doubt/uncertainty as the basis for



Richard Feynman, a brillant scientific and a bad philospher .. -- This is what I got when I've read reviews here about that, but I said NO ! not that much, he should have some beautiful views about philosophy and epistemology, just similar to the beauty of his science and stories.. but unfortunately he hadn't, and the saddest thing was that he tried to answer methaphysical and religious questions using the scientific empirical method. NO Dr.Feynman, don't do it please !I will investigate the

This book is a compilation of some of Dr. Feynman's more notable writings and talks from over the years. I imagine it was a daunting task (even for Feynman himself) to choose which 300 pages of his work to include, given his brilliance and his storied life, but I found the collection here to be an excellent representation of many of the more notable adventures of Feynman's life and some of his more interesting ideas. Of course, only a fraction of his body of work could be included here.There is

it is such a pleasure to read Feynman's speeches. There is a marked difference in the way people talk about something when they enjoy doing the thing and are good at it than when they don't enjoy it very much. That is very noticeable in this book. Feynman has a way of making his sense of wonder and the hunger of understanding things very contagious. The biggest takeaway that a person not involved in the sciences can get from this book is a solid understanding of what is and what is not science.
