"'The Shining' – but funnier."
That's how the author describes his memoir Thirty Rooms To Hide In: Insanity, Addiction, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Shadow of the Mayo Clinic. On one hand it's the story of how his father went from being a famous orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic to lying dead on the floor of a motelroom in Georgia, with a broken ashtray under his head. On the other, it's about how the family of six boys had a wildly fun, thoroughly dysfunctional time growing up in the doctor’s big house in the '50s and '60s. With the Beatles as true north on their compass of Cool, they create a dark humor, film movies, start a rock & roll band, and wise-crack their way though a grim landscape of their father's insanity, Eisenhower's Cold War, fallout shelters, and JFK's assassination.
The family’s photos, movies, and letters can be seen at ThirtyRoomsToHideIn.com. Views: 35
A gripping new scientific biography of the revered Nobel Prize–winning physicist (and curious character). Perhaps the greatest physicist of the second half of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman changed the way we think about quantum mechanics, the most perplexing of all physical theories. Here Lawrence M. Krauss, himself a theoretical physicist and best-selling author, offers a unique scientific biography: a rollicking narrative coupled with clear and novel expositions of science at the limits. An immensely colorful persona in and out of the office, Feynman revolutionized our understanding of nature amid a turbulent life. Krauss presents that life—from the death of Feynman’s childhood sweetheart during the Manhattan Project to his reluctant rise as a scientific icon—as seen through the science, providing a new understanding of the legacy of a man who has fascinated millions. An accessible reflection on the issues that drive physics today, Quantum Man captures the story of a man who was willing to break all the rules to tame a theory that broke all the rules. Lawrence M. Krauss is the director of the Origins Initiative at Arizona State University and has written more than three hundred scientific publications and seven books, including The Physics of Star Trek and A Universe from Nothing. He lives in Tempe, Arizona, and Shaker Heights, Ohio. "Engaging…. Krauss explains scientific material in a clear, lively style that would have earned Feynman's approval…. A worthy addition to the Feynman shelf and a welcome follow-up to the standard-bearer, James Gleick's Genius." - Kirkus Reviews"Lawrence Krauss's wonderful biography manages to combine a rolling narrative with a crystal clear explanation of Richard Feynman's science. Its lively descriptions make both electromagnetism and quantum mechanics fun, while Krauss's personal reflections on his subject add a new level of insight into the man and his scientific legacy. Quantum Man is a masterpiece." - Walter Isaacson, author of *Einstein: His Life and Universe*"Such a charismatic figure deserves a charismatic, knowledgeable, and literate physicist as his warts-and-all biographer. Lawrence Krauss fits the bill admirably and rises to the challenge with style, panache, and deep understanding." - Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion and *The Greatest Show on Earth*"Seamlessly entwining colorful episodes of physics' most 'curious character' with wonderfully clear descriptions of Feynman's penetrating breakthroughs in quantum theory, Krauss's account is both entertaining and masterly. A great read." - Brian Greene, author of The Hidden Reality and *The Elegant Universe*"A lively and engrossing biography of a lively and engrossing man. Krauss recounts the life and ideas of one of the century's greatest scientist with a deep understanding of both the physics and the man, presented with great lucidity and charm." - Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of *How the Mind Works* Views: 35
