Feynman, Ricard Six easy pieces : essentials of physics, explained by its most brilliant teacher Presents six of the easiest chapters from the Nobel Prize winner's celebrated text Lectures in Physics, originally published in 1963, which comprised the lectures he prepared for undergraduate students at Caltech in the early 1960s. Addressing key topics in largely qualitative terms without formal mathematics, the six selections discuss atoms in motion, basic physics, the relation of physics to other sciences, conservation of energy, the theory of gravitation, and quantum behavior.

Feynman Comprises 13 pieces--interviews, speeches, lectures, and printed articles--on all sorts of topics, by the inimitable physicist. Many (most) are available elsewhere, but it's fun to have them collected here. Freeman Dyson provides the foreword; editor Robbins briefly introduces the collection and each selection.

Feynman In this career-spanning collection of letters, many published here for the first time, we are able to see this side of Feynman like never before. Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track covers a dazzling array of topics and themes, scientific developments and personal histories. With missives to and from scientific luminaries, as well as letters to and from fans, family, students, crackpots, as well as everyday people eager for Feynman's wisdom and counsel, the result is a de facto guide to life, and eloquent testimony to the human quest for knowledge at all levels.

Feynman, Richard Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 - February 15, 1988) was an American physicist known for his ground-breaking work on quantum mechanics and the theory of quantum electrodynamics; but perhaps he is more famous for his writings that popularize science and provide a quirkly look at the life a scientist. Feynman's most popular works are "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" and its companion volume, "What Do You Care What Other People Think?". For students of physics, there may be no better introduction to the study of physics than the three volume "Feynman Lectures on Physics", containing the transcription of his physics course given at Caltech in the early 1960's.
