The legendary introduction to physics from the subject’s greatest teacherThe whole thing was basically an experiment Richard Feynman said late in his career looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful spawning a book that has remained a definitive introduction to physics for decades. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics Feynman’s lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. Now we are reintroducing the printed books to the trade fully corrected for the first time ever and in collaboration with Caltech. Timeless and collectible the lectures are essential reading not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.
