Review!

"What Do You Care What Other People Think?"-one of the best books i have ever read! I can look at the book as having two parts. The next two paragraphs are about the first part of the book.

The first chapter is about how Feynman's father taught him to think,a really beautiful chapter. For all the chauvinists out there, the last paragraph does mention his mother(:P), and it was so beautifully worded that it compensated for not mentioning her till then!

The second chapter is about his love Arlene, a heart touching chapter, which (sadly) is tragic. The subsequent chapters run on the lines of those in "Surely You Are Joking...".

The second part of the book is about his investigation of the Challenger space shuttle. It is a treat for the mechanical engineer, and Feynman also beautifully describes how problems typically arise due to differences in engineering judgement and numerical probability! I am not talking too much about it, but this part of the book is my favorite!

The last lecture is on the value of science, a short but amazing lecture! Overall, its an amazing read...Feynman, respect!!
