Feynman won the 1965 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on quantum electrodynamics. This collection of talks, interviews, and essays offers a memorable sample of the wit, brilliance, and irreverence of the most celebrated physicist of our time. Movingly eloquent, the piecesrange from computers to the role of science in society. This collection of Feynman's best short works includes uproarious tales of Feynman's student experiments, his famous report on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, his experiences on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos during World War II, and stories of the physicist as a child.

Hardcover: Pictorial Laminate Boards. This interdisciplinary volume aims to provoke a new understanding of the important role that computer-generated "virtual worlds" will play in domains such as science, business, computer games, education, training, and simulation. It introduces virtual worlds as a field, and reviews its historical roots, its goals, and its methodological approaches. Virtual worlds enable the study of a wide variety of "what if" questions relevant to our understanding of the world around us, by using image synthesis, modeling, multimedia, and virtual reality. We can imagine these virtual worlds reflecting some parts of our reality, but also synthesizing new universes with associated "physical" laws and artificial life forms. The contributors to this volume investigate the relationships between the natural and the artificial from both theoretical and philosophical points of views. They also address technical developments and practical applications. First Edition; First Printing, so stated.
