Feynman Richard P. Libri

"Sei pezzi facili" è un'introduzione fondamentale al mondo della fisica, scritta da uno dei suoi più grandi insegnanti. Richard Feynman, con la sua brillantezza scientifica e la curiosità infinita, guida il lettore attraverso i concetti basilari della fisica, come atomi, energia, forza, la relazione tra fisica e altre scienze, la teoria della gravitazione e il comportamento quantistico. Presentando idee complesse in termini semplificati e comprensibili, utilizzando esempi come proiettili, onde sulla spiaggia e i mattoncini di Dennis the Menace, il libro esplora come funziona il mondo. Feynman riesce a rendere accessibili argomenti altrimenti difficili, stimolando la curiosità e l'interesse per la scienza. Con il suo approccio unico, "Sei pezzi facili" si propone come una lettura indispensabile per chiunque desideri comprendere le basi della fisica.

Richard P. Feynman was a great, wonderful letter writer – numerous letters to his family, friends, scientific colleagues, and laypeople have been preserved. His daughter Michelle has collected and commented on them for this book. For the first time, the personality, thoughts, and work of the century's physicist Feynman are revealed through his letters. They are moving documents about the life of an extraordinary person, which are enjoyable and rewarding to read.

One of the most famous science books of our time, the phenomenal national bestseller that "buzzes with energy, anecdote and life. It almost makes you want to become a physicist" (Science Digest). Richard P. Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. In this lively work that “can shatter the stereotype of the stuffy scientist” (Detroit Free Press), Feynman recounts his experiences trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets—and much more of an eyebrow-raising nature. In his stories, Feynman’s life shines through in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. Included for this edition is a new introduction by Bill Gates.

Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and a winner of the Nobel Prize died in February 1988. This is his last anecdotal biography in which he tells the story of the two people who most influenced his early years - his father who taught him to think and his first wife Arlene who taught him to love, even as she lay dying at an Albuquerque hospital while Feynman worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. There are also lighter moments which tell of his travels in Geneva, Trinidad, Greece and Japan.

Rescued from obscurity, Feynman's Lost Lecture is a blessing for all Feynman followers. Most know Richard Feynman for the hilarious anecdotes and exploits in his best-selling books " Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! " and " What Do You Care What Other People Think? " But not always obvious in those stories was his brilliance as a pure scientist—one of the century's greatest physicists. With this book and CD, we hear the voice of the great Feynman in all his ingenuity, insight, and acumen for argument. This breathtaking lecture—"The Motion of the Planets Around the Sun"—uses nothing more advanced than high-school geometry to explain why the planets orbit the sun elliptically rather than in perfect circles, and conclusively demonstrates the astonishing fact that has mystified and intrigued thinkers since Newton: Nature obeys mathematics. David and Judith Goodstein give us a beautifully written short memoir of life with Feynman, provide meticulous commentary on the lecture itself, and relate the exciting story of their effort to chase down one of Feynman's most original and scintillating lectures.
