At the same time, the ebullient Feynman established a reputation as an eccentric showman, a master safe cracker and bongo player, and a wizard of seduction.Now James Gleick, author of the bestselling Chaos, unravels teh dense skein of Feynman‘s thought as well as the paradoxes of his character in a biography—which was nominated for a National Book Award—of outstanding lucidity and compassion.Biographie de l'auteurJAMES GLEICKis our leading chronicler of science and technology, the best-selling author ofChaos: Making a New Science, Isaac Newton,andThe Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood.
