La vie excentrique de Richard Feynman, l'un des esprits les plus brillants et les plus charismatiques de la science moderne. "Lui ?? L'homme le plus intelligent du monde ? On est dans de beaux draps ! ". Ainsi aurait réagi sa propre mère devant la réputation faite à son fils, Richard Feynman (1918-1988), prix Nobel de physique en 1965. Esprit brillantissime, Feynman contribua en profondeur à la grande aventure de la physique moderne en reformulant presque intégralement la mécanique quantique. Orateur-né, il fut un professeur génial et iconoclaste, mais il s'attira aussi l'affection du public par son sens inné de la communication. Mais ce portrait serait incomplet si l'on se contentait de louer en lui le physicien et le professeur hors pair. Il mena une vie excentrique - farceur impertinent, joueur de bongo, amateur de strip-tease, séducteur invétéré, déchiffreur de codes secrets et de textes mayas, explorateur en Asie centrale - , racontée ici avec un dessin pétri de l'humour du gamin de la banlieue new-yorkaise qu'il n'a jamais cessé d'être. Richard Feynman, personnalité hors du commun, méritait bien un roman (graphique)... Il continue ainsi à nous faire rire... et à nous faire porter sur le monde un regard nouveau, celui du curieux et du touche-à-tout.

This books takes us into the heart of the quantum revolution. He tells the story of Schrödinger's surprisingly colorful life (he arrived for a position at Oxford University with both his wife and mistress). And with his trade mark accessible style and popular touch explains the fascinating world of quantum mechanics, which underpins all of modern science.

Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, published in 1728, one year after the great man's death, unleashed a storm of controversy. And for good reason. The book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient civilizations, contracting Greek history by five hundred years and Egypt's by a millennium. Newton and the Origin of Civilization tells the story of how one of the most celebrated figures in the history of mathematics, optics, and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to problems of history, theology, and mythology, and of how his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in Europe's learned circles throughout the eighteenth century and beyond. Jed Buchwald and Mordechai Feingold reveal the manner in which Newton strove for nearly half a century to rectify universal history by reading ancient texts through the lens of astronomy, and to create a tight theoretical system for interpreting the evolution of civilization on the basis of population dynamics. It was during Newton's earliest years at Cambridge that he developed the core of his singular method for generating and working with trustworthy knowledge, which he applied to his study of the past with the same rigor he brought to his work in physics and mathematics. Drawing extensively on Newton's unpublished papers and a host of other primary sources, Buchwald and Feingold reconcile Isaac Newton the rational scientist with Newton the natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian, and chronologist of ancient history.
