Infinity [videorecording] / by Broderick, Matthew,1962-(CARDINAL)346894; Arquette, Patricia,1968-;
Music, Bruce Broughton ; director of photography, Toyomichi Kurita ; co-producer, Don Phillips ; producers, Matthew Broderick, Patricia Broderick, Michael Leahy, Joel Soisson ; screenplay, Patricia Broderick ; director, Matthew Broderick.Matthew Broderick, Patricia Arquette, Peter Riegert, Zeliko Ivanek.True-life story of physicist Richard Feynman, who, as a young man fell madly in love with a beautiful young woman, Arline Greenbaum with whom he shared a very special bond. In 1941, when the United States plunged into World War II, Feynman was recruited to work at Los Alamos on the top-secret government project that was to develop the first atomic bomb--a job he accepted, in part, because it allowed him to resolve the crisis that he and Arline would face alone.Videodisc.

The meaning of it all [sound recording] : thoughts of a citizen scientist / by Feynman, Richard P.(Richard Phillips),1918-1988.(CARDINAL)355647;
Read by Raymond Todd.In this collection of lectures given by Feynman in 1963, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist discusses several of the mega-questions of science: What is the nature of the tension between science and religious faith? Why does uncertainty play such a crucial role in the scientific imagination? Is this really the scientific age? Marked by Feynman's characteristic combination of rationality and humor, these lectures provide an intimate glimpse at the man behind the legend.

The meaning of it all : thoughts of a citizen scientist / by Feynman, Richard P.(Richard Phillips),1918-1988.(CARDINAL)355647;
"In April 1963, Richard P. Feynman gave a series of remarkable lectures at the University of Washington in Seattle. These three consecutive talks were classic Feynman - full of wit and wisdom - but their subject matter was wholly unexpected: Feynman spoke not as a physicist but as a concerned fellow citizen, revealing his uncommon insights into the religious, political, and social issues of the day." "Now, at last, these lectures have been published under the collective title The Meaning of It All. Here is Feynman on mind reading and the laws of probability and statistics; on Christian Science and the dubious effect of prayer on healing; and on human interpersonal relationships. Here is the citizen-scientist on the dramatic effect simple engineering projects could have on the plague of poverty; the vital role creativity plays in science; the conflict between science and religion; the efficacy of doubt and uncertainty in arriving at scientific truths; and why honest politicians can never be successful."--BOOK JACKET.1040L

Perfectly reasonable deviations from the beaten track : the letters of Richard P. Feynman / by Feynman, Richard P.(Richard Phillips),1918-1988.(CARDINAL)355647; Feynman, Michelle.(CARDINAL)659233;
One of the towering figures of twentieth-century science, Richard Feynman possessed a curiosity that was the stuff of legend. Even before he won the Nobel Prize in 1965, his unorthodox and spellbinding lectures on physics secured his reputation amongst students and seekers around the world. It was his outsized love for life, however, that earned him the status of an American cultural icon--here was an extraordinary intellect devoted to the proposition that the thrill of discovery was matched only by the joy of communicating it to others. In this career-spanning collection of letters, many published here for the first time, we are able to see this side of Feynman like never before. As edited and annotated by his daughter, Michelle, these letters not only allow us to better grasp the how and why of Feynman's enduring appeal, but also to see the virtues of an inquiring eye in spectacular fashion. The result is a wonderful de facto guide to life, an eloquent testimony to the human quest for knowledge at all levels.
