MEDIAPRINT RICHARD FEYNMAN A LIFE IN SCIENCE

In this edition, step by step, the life of Feynman unfolds, an irresistible, inimitable, irreplaceable genius who grew up during the Great Depression and amid the storm of World War II, where the opportunity to have a place in university was very limited if you were of Jewish descent. He impressed professors and colleagues with his intellect, openness, intuition and directness. All this made him stand out from a very young age. He was also a handsome young man, full of zest for life and love, blessed with wit and charm. His participation in the project to build the atomic bomb gave him the opportunity to flourish in the company of the greatest scientists of the time. He put all his energies into his scientific research, which led to the discovery of quantum electrodynamics and won him the Nobel Prize.
