What Do You Care What Other People Think? Further Adventures of a Curious Character - Softcover
Like its predecessor, Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman, this volume presents further adventures of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist. Readers learn the inner workings of the Rogers Commission, the stupifying realities of bureaucratic obfuscation, and the confusion and misjudgement that have plagued NASA in recent years.

Review:
A thoughtful companion volume to the earlier Surely You Are Joking Mr. Feynman!. Perhaps the most intriguing parts of the book are the behind-the-scenes descriptions of science and policy colliding in the presidential commission to determine the cause of the Challenger space shuttle explosion; and the scientific sleuthing behind his famously elegant O-ring-in-ice-water demonstration. Not as rollicking as his other memoirs, but in some ways more profound.
About the Author:
Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) earned a BS from MIT and a PhD from Princeton. From 1942 to 1945, he assisted with the development of the atomic bomb. He then taught at Cornell and Caltech, where he contributed to the theories of superfluidity and quarks. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
