"Richard Feynman tells readers how his interest in science began. He talks about his years as a student and, later, as a professor. This book gives us a glimpse into how the mind of a genius works. This is the man who was able to figure out what caused the space shuttle Challenger to explode in 1986. He talks about scientific theories and explains them to the reader in simple, non-intimidating language. He makes science fun and interesting by making it accessible to all. "
