Title: Feynman and Gell-Mann Talk: Mlodinow Listens
Review: If you ever heard or saw Feynman then you have a clear recollection of the man. Mlodinow brings him back to life in his own words. Ironically, this takes place not long before Feynman succumbs to cancer. He is spending most of his last years trying to do what has eluded physicists in the quarter century since he passed away, reminiscent of Einstein's fruitless quest near the end of his life. Mlodinow is a young post-doc at Cal Tech hoping Feynman, or anyone, can help him to get a foothold in physics and not too sure he belongs in this world. For a young student this memoir should resonate with the fears and hopes peculiar to a profession with so many towering figures. Feynman exhorts Mlodinow to just find his own way and never mind what anyone else thinks. And Mlodinow did just that, leaving us with some bittersweet memories of perhaps the most memorable scientist of the 20th century.
