Book Review of The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman (Helix Books)

reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


An interesting collection of essays, interviews and speeches of Feynman, many of which have an emphasis on the philosophy of the scientific method. I was particularly interested in the chapters on Los Alamos and nanotechnology. The chapter containing Feynman's report on the Challenger accident was a sad reminder of the bureaucratic bungling leading to that disaster.
