Soviet Women: Walking the...

In 1917, the USSR became the first society in history to officially emancipate women. But seven decades later, the heroic tolerance of Soviet women—over 90 percent of whom are employed full-time—is showing signs of wear. From her wide experience and travels in Russia, Francine du Plessix Gray brings us the voices of women doctors, professors, intellectuals, dissidents, party workers, journalists, and factory workers who talk about their lives with amazing candour and frequent anger. Despite perestroika, women continue to suffer a startling variety of social injustices.

"Surely You're Joking Mr....

Richard Feynman (1918–1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female torero—and much else of an eyebrow-raising nature. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric glory—a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unrelenting curiosity, and raging chutzpah.
