Summary:
Einstein's Dreams meets Tuesdays with Morrie in Leonard Mlodinow's
touching memoir about the guidance granted him by his mentor, the
brilliant physicist Richard Feynman. For some, it was that special
connection with a grandparent or a football coach, a boss, or a
cleric. For Leonard Mlodinow, as a young physicist struggling to find
his place in the world, the relationship that would most profoundly
influence his life was with his mentor, the Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Richard Feynman. Drawing on transcripts from his many
meetings with Feynman during their time together at Cal Tech,
Mlodinow shares Feynman's provocative answers to such questions as
"What is the nature of creativity?" and "How does a scientist think?"
At once a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of
Feynman's final, creative years, FEYNMAN'S RAINBOW celebrates the
inspiring legacy of one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
