Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
Adventures of a Curious Character
Book • 2010
This book is an edited collection of reminiscences by Richard Feynman, based on recorded audio conversations he had with his friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton.
It covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life, including his work on the Manhattan Project, his critique of the science education system in Brazil, and his various hobbies such as safe-cracking, painting, and playing the bongo drums.
The book also includes his famous 'Cargo Cult Science' lecture, where he cautions against the superficial appearance of scientific investigation without a self-critical attitude.
Feynman's stories are lighthearted yet insightful, reflecting his high intelligence, curiosity, and humor.
