Some of the brightest minds in science have passed through the halls of the California Institute of Technology. In the early 1980s, Leonard Mlodinow joined their ranks to begin a postdoctoral fellowship. Afraid he was not smart enough to be there, despite his groundbreaking Ph.D. thesis, he took his insecurities to Richard Feynman, Caltech's intimidating resident genius and iconoclast. So began a pivotal year in a young man's life. Though a series of fascinating exchanges, Mlodinow and Feynman delve into the nature of science, creativity, love mathematics, happiness, God, art, pleasures and ambition, producing a moving portrait of a friendship and an affecting account of Feynman's final creative years. 2003年出版『ファインマンさん 最後の授業』（邦訳メディアファクトリー刊）の改訂新版。著者は『ホーキング、宇宙と人間を語る』（邦訳エクスナレッジ刊）などの共著者としても知られるレナード・ムロディナウ。若手科学者と二度目のガン手術の直後で年老いた物理学者ファインマン先生との最後の交流。
