In this book, Feynman describes in vivid detail, some important tales in his life that shaped him and sparked his curiosity in a variety of subjects. The book is a collection of short works recollecting events from Feynman's remarkable life, throughout which, he had an infectious joy at finding out things for himself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeynman, from a very young age, displayed great enthusiasm for knowledge. He had an irrepressible thirst for knowing what made the world. He credits his father for imbibing in him this great thirst for the unknown. The book includes tumultuous, yet exceedingly funny, tales from his early years as a student and the experiments that he undertook at that age. He goes on to describe his great passion for safe cracking and dodging American censors during the second world war. He also describes to us his lecture to an esteemed audience that had eminent personalities like Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the most interesting parts of the book is Feynman's description of his path breaking lecture at Caltech in an American Physical Society meeting titled 'There's Plenty of Room at The Bottom'. This lecture is credited to be a seminal moment in the development of nanoscience. In the book, he also gives us details about his association with the Rogers Commission in order to investigate the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFunny, intriguing and revealing in equal measure, The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is an inspirational book that traces the life of a true legend in modern scientific history.
