Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.25 inches. 272 pages. A Note on Contributors. Illustrations. Notes. A Feynman Bibliography. Index. Address label of Frank V. Tarkington of Silver Spring, MD on fep. Frank V. Tarkington, who lived to be 102, joined the United States Navy in 1940 and served five years. While on the island of Tinian, he witnessed the arming of the Enola Gay. Frank was advanced in rate to Chief Radioman until the war was over. His service in the Navy was a springboard for a long career with Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Frank installed the first television in the White House so that President Truman could witness the opening of Congress in January 1948. Christopher Sykes is a TV documentary producer based in London. He was born in 1945, and was educated at the Atlantic College and Merton College, Oxford where he read English. In 1970 he joined the BBC as a television researcher. He has made about seventy documentaries for BBC TV and Channel 4, some of which have been shown on PBS/Nova-notably the programs he made with and about Richard Feynman (The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, Last Journey of a Genius and The Best Mind Since Einstein). He is also a consultant to Web of Stories, an online video collection of in-depth interviews with many of the great minds of our time. For many years, whenever British filmmaker Christopher Sykes got asked at parties what he did, he would say, "I make films about Richard Feynman." Which he did-though Sykes has made more than 70 eclectic documentaries, he became best-known for his film on Richard Feynman, including the excellent No Ordinary Genius and The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, from which these timeless excerpts on beauty, honors, and curiosity came. Sykes painted a portrait of Feynman that was as fascinating and full of his scientific genius as it was entertaining and brimming with his playful irreverence. Sykes is a documentary filmmaker for BBC TV who got to know the great Nobel Laureate physicist while making documentary films about his life. He has assembled selections from Feynman's writings and other sources and arranged them in thematic chapters, illustrated with photos. The compilation is an impressive and engaging presentation of the man and his work.
