Seller's Description:
New. Size: 88x16x136; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. Richard Feynman was an American theoretical physicist who was widely regarded as the most brilliant, influential, and iconoclastic figure in his field in the post-World War II era. Feynman remade quantum electrodynamics, the theory of the interaction between light and matter, and thus altered the way science understands the nature of waves and particles. He was co-awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965 for this work, which tied together in an experimentally perfect package all the varied phenomena at work in light, radio, electricity, and magnetism.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good- jacket. 1st Printing. pp. 270. Helix Books. Edited by Jeffrey Robbins. Foreword by Freeman Dyson. Small smudge to bottom, rear book. Crease to inside front flap, wrinkling to bottom rear dust jacket.
The book gives you a glimpse into a world which ought to be yours and mine as well, if not quite up front, then at least from as close as possible. Its a world of continuing and satifying curiosity, and where it may lead. It is also a rare book, because many of those so gifted are more and more isolated, or less able to tell their story so well.
The gap which opens up this way diminishes the sense of life of many and may even lead to distrust and hate.
Feynman bridges this gap in a magnificent style, ease and pleasure in being alive.
