Gleick is the author of Chaos: The Making of A New Science. Gleick seems to have enjoyed the cooperation of Feynman's family plus that of a good many of his colleagues from the Manhattan Project and the Challenger inquiry (in which Feynman played a scene-stealing role), and he steadily levies just enough of the burden of Feynman's genius on the reader so that the physicist remains, in the end, a person and not an icon of science. This biography wants to measure both the particle and the wave of 20th-century genius-Feynman's, Julian Schwinger's, Murray Gell-Mann's, and others'-in the quantum era.

Several different times throughout his life, Feynman tried to map his knowledge, the interconnections, and how they influence each other, creating a mental map of his understanding of his world.

Feynman!, '' won't be disappointed by his colleagues' recollections of his reckless obsession with doing science (a grad-school dorm neighbor once opened Feynman's door to find him rolling on the floor as he worked on a problem) but the anecdotes punctuate an expanded account of Feynman the visceral working scientist, not Feynman the iconoclast. Feynman also had tremendous influence in a number of fields outside of particle physics including nanotechnology, genetics, molecular biology, and more. Fans of Feynman's own bestseller, ``Surely You're Joking, Mr. Rather, he depicts Feynman's ``curious character'' in its real context: the science he helped develop during physics' most revolutionary era.

It would be hard to tell personal stories about the late Nobelist Feynman (1918-1988) better than the subject himself did in What Do You Care What Other People Think? To his credit, Gleick does not try. Youve just won the Nobel prize in physics How do you feel Thats exactly what happened to Richard Feynman, the genius this book by James Gleick is about.
