The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
by
"Absolutely seminal to my education as a developmental epistemologist. Meta belief is such an amazing concept. The Piagetian connection allows one to collapse the very large social transformations and the individual versions - they have the same developmental qualities. Stunning!"

"Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!": Adventures of a Curious Character
by
"Feynman is so good at being smart. His peccadillos become tales of Ulysses, the 'safe cracking', his observations on women, his ability to chase down an idea and make it great. He was a fascinatingly unique character!"
