Science: A Bringer of Light

I just finished reading Leonard Mlodinow's Feynman's Rainbow, and while I don't think it provides much of an insight into Dr. Feynman himself (try Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman for that), it does give a fine view of what a scientist actually is, or at least could be.

Mlodnow first showed up at Caltech, he had Dr. Feynman on one side, and the polar opposite, Dr. Murray Gell-Mann on the other.

A very quick read, and highly recommended.
