Genius
The Life and Science of Richard Feynman
James Gleick
This biography delves into the life and work of Richard Feynman, a brilliant physicist whose mastery of quantum mechanics led him to work on the Manhattan Project. Gleick captures the personality of this irreverent and childishly enthusiastic scientist, from his childhood tinkering with radios to his vital role in the birth of the Atomic Age. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a genius that both scientists and laymen can enjoy.

Richard Feynman is a famous physicist. I love both his demeanor as well as his understanding of physics. I’ve also been reading Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track by Feynman and re-reading Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, a biography about him. – source
