All I need to find next is a mathematcian/physicist who is also a unicyclist.

That first question there is huge. Besides this:

• Silvan Schweber, QED and the Men Who Made It, Princeton U. Press, Princeton, 1994.

I recommend this:

• David Kaiser, Drawing Theories Apart: The Dispersion of Feynman Diagrams in Postwar Physics, U. Chicago Press, Chicago, 2005.

and also this:

• Jagdish Mehra, The Beat of a Different Drum: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, Oxford U. Press, Oxford, 1994.
