Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track is a collection of personal letters written by legendary physicist and raconteur Richard P. Feynman. Edited by his daughter Michelle, and including many letters written to Feynman, it shows the full extent of his legacy like never before.

Richard P. Feynman talks about art, science, the dubious honor of exclusive, high-prestige awards, and the meaning of existence in three rare video interviews.

“I understand at last—such things provide entrance to the heart. Used by a wise and peaceful people they can generate good feeling, even love, among men, even in lands far beyond your own. For that lesson, I thank you.”
