这部权威著作讲述了堪称二十世纪美国本土出生的最伟大的理论物理学家的生平与科研成果。他不仅是一位杰出的导师、天生的演艺家、邦戈鼓手、活宝与打破传统者，更是一位能够实现想象力超验跃迁的科学魔术师。在他的职业生涯中，他先是被卷入原子弹的研究，随后构想出量子力学与量子电动力学的路径积分表述。此后，他创立了图解技术，使得 Feynman diagrams 在量子场论中变得无处不在

读一本不一样的费曼传记可能会更有意思。我先读了《Genius》，然后读了 Mehra 写的《The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman》，我更喜欢后面这本。
It might be more interesting to read a different Feynman biography. I read Genius first, then Mehra's The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, which I liked better.
……涉猎太杂，你永远不可能在任何一个领域做到真正拔尖。理查德·费曼的《Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman!》和《What Do You Care What Other People Think?》，以及 Jagdish Mehra 为费曼写的传记《The Beat of a Different Drum》，都展现了那种既专注物理、又能轻松掌握业余爱好（开锁、画画、打鼓、玛雅算术）的能力，这正是真正的天才所具备的特质。
…subjects, you will never become really good at any one. Richard Feynman's "Surely You're Joking, Mr Feynman!" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" and Jagdish Mehra's biography of Feynman, The Beat of a Different Drum all show the combination of focus on physics and his ability to easily pick up the side interests, safecracking, drawing, drumming, Mayan arithmetic, that exemplifies real genius.
Jagdish Mehra 写的《The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman》比 Krauss 那本还要硬核，如果你真的想搞懂他在科学上的贡献，非常值得一读。
Jagdish Mehra's The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman is even more technical than Krauss and is worth checking out if you really want to understand his scientific contributions.
……基于他撰写并讲授的讲义，但大部分都属于“副业”，比如计算、引力讲义、《费曼物理学讲义基础篇》（six easy pieces）等。为了更全面地了解他的工作，我强烈推荐：- Jagdish Mehra 写的《The Beat of a Different Drum》 - James Gleick 写的《Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman》 - 《Selected Papers》- https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/4270（价格贵且偏专业）- 《QED and the……
…on lectures he wrote and gave but they were mostly "side projects" e.g. computation, lectures on gravitation, six easy pieces etc. To get a better sense of his work, I would highly recommend: - The Beat of a Different Drum by Jagdish Mehra - Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman by James Gleick - Selected Papers - https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/4270 (expensive and technical) - QED and the…
