Feynman (2005) The best intro physics books ever written (and likely to remain this way - who can top this?). Not an easy read, if you haven't had at least AP or freshman physics (and a little calculus). But if you can appreciate it (like a good wine), it opens up a whole new world of understanding! Serious influence on my way to becoming a scientist. A must read if you are interested in physics. Encompasses nearly all basic physics in a thoughtful and precise manner without too much math. Feynman's unique presentation of physics, sometimes a little bit tricky. Superb exposition. Have notice that the silvered ink of the printed covers of the Definitive Edition tends to rub and wear easily. no reviews | add a review

The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Three Volume Set. Feynman's effective classroom style remains intact in these volumes, a valuable work by a remarkable educator. The volumes are an edited version of Richard Feynman's lectures, taped and transcribed specifically for the books. The three volume commemorative issue is either available hardbound and packaged in a specially designed slipcase, or in a paperbound edition. This three volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology — a course designed to take advantage of readers' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more comprehensive view of modern-day physics. It is a rigorous undertaking that resulted in a classic reference work for anyone interested in physics.
