Science

Bill Bryson turns his gaze inwards, to try to understand the extraordinary contraption that is us. As he guides us around the human body to discover how it  functions, what can go wrong and its remarkable ability to heal itself, what emerges is that we are infinitely more complex, wondrous and mysterious than any of us might have suspected. From our genes to our linguistic skills, our big brains to our dextrous fingertips, we are an astonishing story of success. And the history of how we have tried to master our biology and stave off disease is full of forgotten heroes, astounding anecdotes and extraordinary facts.

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.

A gripping, eye-opening, and ultimately hopeful look at the defining geopolitical challenges of our time by three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman.
