Jagdish Mehra (April 8, 1931 - September 14, 2008) was an Indian-American historian of science. Mehra obtained a Ph.D. in theoretical physics at the University of Neuchatel. He subsequently taught at Purdue University, Southeastern Massachusetts University, the University of Geneva, the Solvay Institute in Brussels, Rice University, the University of Houston and the International Center for Theoretical Physics. He is particularly well known for a book in 6 volumes on The Historical Development of Quantum Theory, which he wrote with H. Rechenberg. He also wrote a biography of Richard Feynman. He also wrote a book on the controversy surrounding the exact role David Hilbert played in the development of the gravitation theory of Albert Einstein. The Beat of a Different Drum is a superb account of Feynman's life and work, encompassing a singular career that spanned from the detonation of the first atomic bomb at Los Alamos to the frontiers of our understanding of the universe. An accomplished physicist and historian of science, Mehra knew Feynman for decades, and their friendship deeply informs all aspects of the book. Mehra interviewed his friends and colleagues who painted an unforgettable portrait of a scientist who insisted on taking the whole of nature as the arena of his science and his imagination. Mehra writes clearly and comprehensively about the theoretical and technical aspects of Feynman's achievements: his role in the development of the atomic bomb; his association with Hans Bethe, and the development of the Feynman diagrams. Mehra addresses Feynman's philosophical reflections on the implications of the key scientific discoveries.…
