"Feynman was a stranger to pomposity, and theres some splendid stuff here. Perhaps the most striking thing is his rare appreciation of the deep connections linking science and democracy."
New York Times Book Review
"Richard Feynman was a man of many reputations: brilliant physicist, charismatic teacher, irrepressible raconteur, and…unforgettable character...When Feynman describes the scientist as an acrobat walking beautiful tightropes of logic, we understand how a generation of young physicists might have been drawn to follow this brilliant Pied Piper out onto the wire, high above the crowd."
Boston Globe
"Feynmans voice and personality come through clearly. He talks about real people and their problems, not about philosophical abstractions. He is interested in religion as a way for people to make sense of their lives, but he is not interested in theology."
