书籍简介

许多人欣赏理查德·费曼对20世纪物理学的贡献，但很少有人意识到他与周围的世界有多么密切的联系——他对当时的宗教、政治和社会问题等考虑得多么深刻和深思熟虑。现在，一本精彩的书——基于他1963年在华盛顿大学发表的一篇先前未发表的三部分公开演讲——向我们展示了费曼的另一面，他阐述了科学和宗教之间的内在冲突，人们对政治家的不信任，以及我们对飞碟、信仰和心灵感应的普遍迷恋。在这里，我们看到费曼正在状态:几乎爆发成纳瓦霍战争的圣歌，然后要求对英语语言进行彻底改革(如果你想知道约翰尼为什么不识字，就看看“朋友”的拼写)，最后，反思他妻子死于肺结核的情况。这是典型的费曼——反思，风趣，而且永远具有启发性。

Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him-how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book-based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963-shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people's distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can't read, just look at the spelling of "friend") and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman-reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.

作者简介

理查德·菲利普斯·费曼（英文：Richard Phillips Feynman，1918年5月11日—1988年2月15日），美籍犹太裔物理学家，加州理工学院物理学教授，1965年诺贝尔物理学奖得主。

提出了费曼图、费曼规则和重正化的计算方法，这是研究量子电动力学和粒子物理学不可缺少的工具。费曼还发现了呼麦这一演唱技法，曾一直期待去呼麦的发源地——图瓦，但是未能成行。 他被认为是爱因斯坦之后睿智的理论物理学家，也是首位提出纳米概念的人。

Richard P. Feynman was raised in Far Rockaway, New York, and received his Ph.D. from Princeton. He held professorships at both Cornell and the California Institute of Technology. In 1965 he received the Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics. He died in 1988.
