	Richard Feynman was the best-loved scientist of modem time, perhaps of all time, and that is something that simply does not come across in any of the other books about Feynman-nobody has captured the essence of Feynman's science and the essence of Feynman's persona in one book. This biography aims to fill that void because, of all the scientists of modem time, Feynman seems to have been the one who had the best 'feel' for science, who understood physics not simply in terms of equations written on a blackboard, but in some deep, inner sense which enabled him to see to the heart of the subject. Part biography, part scientific explanation, this book is an engaging picture of Richard Feynman, the best-loved scientist of modem time, and also one of the most famous.
