by Richard Feynman
Feynman's brilliantly accessible explanation of quantum electrodynamics — the theory of how light and matter interact — adapted from four lectures for a general audience. Using simple diagrams and plain language, Feynman explains one of the most accurate theories in all of physics.
Six of the easiest chapters from Feynman's legendary Lectures on Physics, covering atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum behavior, and the relationship of physics to other sciences. Feynman's gift for explanation makes complex ideas feel natural and exciting.
Based on a series of lectures at Cornell University, Feynman explores the general character of physical law — not specific laws, but the nature of the laws themselves. Covering gravity, conservation, symmetry, and the relationship between mathematics and physics, it's a meditation on how science works.
