RICHARD FEYNMAN Signed Book
PRESENTATION COPY. 1 vol., eight printing, inscribed on the title page \"To Don Roth / Richard Feynman\", hardbound, with the priced DJ, NF/NF, with the scarce errata slip.An uncommonly interesting association, nicely recalling the sparks of Feynman\'s lifelong passion for figuring out \'the way thing work\'. Don Roth (Donald J. Roth, 1931-2010) was Feynman\'s first and closet neighbor in California: The two men shared a rented \'duplex\' at 844/6 Alameda Street in Altadena, CA from 1953 till 1960, when Feynman married Gweneth Howarth and moved to Boulder Drive in Altadena. Roth was an appliance sales and repairman by trade; and Feynman, it will be remembered, had got his start in physics in much the same way -- as a kid in Far Rockaway, repairing his neighbors\' radios and typewriters \"by thinking\". They must have had a lot to talk about, this repairman and the gregarious genius next door; and the two men maintained a loose acquaintance long afterwards, as the present copy attests.
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model. For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman, jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin\'ichirō Tomonaga, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965.
Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions describing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime, Feynman became one of the best-known scientists in the world. In a 1999 poll of 130 leading physicists worldwide by the British journal Physics World he was ranked as one of the ten greatest physicists of all time.
He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became known to a wide public in the 1980s as a member of the Rogers Commission, the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Along with his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing and introducing the concept of nanotechnology. He held the Richard C. Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at the California Institute of Technology.
Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There\'s Plenty of Room at the Bottom and the three-volume publication of his undergraduate lectures, The Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman also became known through his semi-autobiographical books Surely You\'re Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think?.If you elect to send this autographed item to one of \'s approved authenticators and are not satisfied with the results, the item can be returned within 30 days of purchase for a full refund to include return postage in the amount of the initial postage.
