Sobre este artículo
C2b: W W Norton and Company. Very Good in Good+ dust jacket. 1985. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by W. W. Norton & Co. , New York, 1985. 350 pgs. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (closed tears present to the edges of the DJ, wrinkle present to the front panel and chipping and wear present to the extremities). Bound in cloth with titles present to the spine. Boards have light wear present to the extremities of the boards. Previous owner's blindstamp present to the rear DJ flap and the FFEP. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. 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. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 350 pages .
