Richard P. Feynman
The Feynman Lectures on Physics on CD: Volumes 1 & 2, Quantum Mechanics, Advanced Quantum Mechanics
Feynman Audio: The Feynman Tapes, Volume 0 : (as recorded by Ralph Leighton) "Fixing Radios" and other stories. You've read printed versions of these stories in his best-selling books "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character and What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character; now hear them in Feynman's own voice in conversation with Ralph Leighton. Also includes a "fly-on-the-wall" track of just hanging out with Feynman at his beach house in Baja California. 57:47 running time.
Feynman Audio: The Feynman Tapes, Volume 1 : (as recorded by Ralph Leighton) "Chief Research Chemist" and other stories. Richard Feynman tells some of his legendary stories to Ralph Leighton. You've read edited versions of these stories in his books "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character and What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character, now hear them as "The Chief" told them! 57:29 running time.
Feynman Audio: The Feynman Tapes, Volume 2 : (as recorded by Ralph Leighton) Features the stories "At Cornell" and perhaps Feynman's most famous story of all, "The Draft." If you enjoyed "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character and What Do You Care What Other People Think?: Further Adventures of a Curious Character, you'll love hearing these tales as they were originally told! 62:33 running time.
Safecracker Suite: Drumming and Storytelling by Richard Feynman : "The Chief" tells his most infamous story: cracking the safes containing the secrets to the atomic bomb! Mixed in are drumming sessions, in original recordings made by Ralph Leighton. Hear it all! The CD was been re-mastered in 2000 for improved sound quality (considering the informal nature of the recordings). 69:04 running time.
Ondar/Feynman: Tuva Talk : The Three Quarks return! Ralph Leighton and Tom Rutishauser lay down some new tracks -- featuring Richard Feynman (from early recordings). Ondar makes an appearance... and the title track features Feynman's talk at the plenary conference at USC for Nomads: Masters of the Eurasian Steppe.
