Synopsis
As a stamp-collecting boy always fascinated by remote places, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman was particularly taken by the diamond-shaped stamps from a place called Tannu Tuva deep within Outer Mongolia. He hoped, someday, to travel there., In 1977, Feynman and his sidekick fellow drummer and geography enthusiast Ralph Leighton set out to make arrangements to visit Tuva, doing noble and hilarious battle with Soviet red tape, befriending quite a few Tuvans, and discovering the wonders of Tuvan throat-singing. Their Byzantine attempts to reach Tannu Tuva would span a decade, interrupted by Feynman's appointment to the committee investigating the Challenger disaster, and his tragic struggle with the cancer that finally killed him. Tuva or Bust chronicles the deepening friendship of two zany, brilliant strategists whose love of the absurd will delight and instruct. It is Richard Feynman's last, best adventure., In 1977, Feynman and his sidekick-- fellow drummer and geography enthusiast Ralph Leighton--set out to make arrangements to visit Tuva, doing noble and hilarious battle with Soviet red tape, befriending quite a few Tuvans, and discovering the wonders of Tuvan throat-singing.

- 3***0 (442)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood Communication -- Fast Shipping Unroasted Organic Coffee Beans were shipped quickly and arrived timely. Haven't had a chance to taste yet. Description states, "New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item.". My shipment arrived a only a plastic shipping envelope which sealed closed. It was inserted inside a another identical grey, plastic shipping envelope. It would have been nice, if the beans had been placed first in a zip lock gallon bag.
