The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist

Many appreciate Richard P. Here we see feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language if you want to know why Johnny can't read, finally, just look at the spelling of “friend”; and, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis.

This is quintessential Feynman—reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening. Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him—how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day.
