为什么值得读
- 优秀且不过于晦涩的物理学家传记
- 生动呈现狄拉克极其寡言沉默的鲜明性格
- 兼顾科学成就与个人成长隐秘生活的真实记录
出版商推荐语：Paul Dirac 是现代最伟大的科学天才之一。作为上世纪最具颠覆性理论——量子力学的奠基人之一，他的贡献具备独特的洞察力、优雅、清晰度与数学力量。他对反物质的预言是物理学史上最伟大的胜利之一。作为 Einstein 最钦佩的同行之一，Dirac 在 1933 年成为史上最年轻的诺贝尔物理学奖理论物理学家。Dirac 的个性极具传奇色彩。他是一位极其内向的独行侠，极度恪守字面含义，并且

我推荐 Graham Farmelo 在 2009 年写的狄拉克传记《量子怪杰》（The Strangest Man）。http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/apr/02/paul-dirac-str... 我曾经在布里斯托大学读过物理学位，狄拉克就是在那里出生长大的，物理系总爱拿‘他们的’这位大师大作文章。他那座故居……
I recommend Graham Farmelo's 2009 biography of Dirac, The Strangest Man. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2009/apr/02/paul-dirac-str... I once started a physics degree at Bristol, where Dirac was born and raised, and the department made a big show of 'their' man. The house…
Graham Farmelo 还写了《量子怪杰：狄拉克传》（The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom）[0]，我读得津津有味。技术门槛不高，对于这类传记来说有时算是个优点，但它涵盖了……
Graham Farmelo also wrote The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Mystic of the Atom [0] which I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It's not very technical, which is sometimes a nice attribute in these sorts of biographies, but it covers the…
Graham Farmelo 写的《量子怪杰》（The Strangest Man）是一部关于保罗·狄拉克极佳的传记。他在剑桥的同事们甚至发明了一个叫“dirac”的单位，定义为每小时说一个词，以此来调侃他的寡言少语 :o)
the book, 'the strangest man' (graham-farmelo), is an excellent biographical account of p.a.m.d his colleagues at cambridge, created a unit called 'dirac', which was 1 word/hour to describe his taciturn nature :o)
《量子怪杰》（The Strangest Man）- Graham Farmelo。一本保罗·狄拉克的传记。非常棒。--------------- 《真实世界的脉络》（The Fabric of the Universe）- David Deutsch。如果我们把手头最好的理论融合在一起，能描绘出一幅怎样的宇宙图景……
The Strangest Man - Graham Farmelo A biography of Paul Dirac. Very good. --------------- The Fabric of the Universe - David Deutsch What picture can we paint of the universe if we take together the best theories we…
《别闹了，费曼先生！》（Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynmann）和《你干吗在乎别人怎么想》（What Do You Care What People Think），[显而易见]都是理查德·费曼写的；Oliver Sacks 的《钨叔叔》（Uncle Tungsten），主要讲 Sacks 的早年生活；Graham Farmelo 的《量子怪杰：狄拉克传》（The strangest man: The hidden life of Paul Dirac）；Paul Hoffman 的《爱上数字的人：保罗·埃尔德什的传奇经历》（The man who loved only numbers: the story of Paul Erdos and the search for mathematical truth）；还有《上帝是微妙的：爱因斯坦的科学与……》（Subtle is the lord: the science and…
"Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynmann" and "What Do You Care What People Think", both [obviously] by Richard Feynmann "Uncle Tungsten" by Oliver Sacks, mostly about Sacks' early life "The strangest man: The hidden life of Paul Dirac", by Graham Farmelo "The man who loved only numbers: the story of Paul Erdos and the search for mathematical truth" by Paul Hoffman "Subtle is the lord: the science and…
既然聊到了保罗·狄拉克，推荐一本超棒的传记——Graham Farmelo 的《量子怪杰：狄拉克传》（The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Quantum Genius）。它不仅文采斐然，生动描绘了这位最伟大的物理学家之一，而且非常难得地兼具了 page-turner 的引人入胜与书本身的深度……
Being in the topic of Paul Dirac, there is a wonderful biography - The Strangest Man: The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac, Quantum Genius, by Graham Farmelo. It is an exceptionally well-written biography of one of the greatest physicists, and a rare combination of a page-turner and a book…
