Talk:The Pleasure of Finding Things Out

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Rationale in creating this page

I created this page simply because I saw a red link to this book on the page about Richard Feynman indicating it was not yet created. While not a seminal work like Six Easy Pieces, I believe this most likely qualifies as a notable work. It contains some of his most famous material: A transcription of his report on the Challenger disaster, which is culturally significant, and There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom which is oft-cited in regards to nanotechnology. In addition, a Google search shows that a few Wikipedia articles use this book as a reference

I did my best to create the initial stub for this book. I've never created a book article before, so I'm not totally clear on what all should go into the infobox. I copied the information from the inside cover of my own copy of the book, cross-referenced one or two bits from this book's Amazon page

For the page content, I modeled it after existing pages: The layout and wording after What Do You Care What Other People Think?, and a few claims (such as "famous lecture") from the respective articles (Cargo cult science and, again, There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom) - TheBilly (talk) 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Looks like a good start--you're right that this book should be included on Wikipedia. Thanks for getting it set up! --pie4all88 (talk) 06:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
