Winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1965, Richard Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, but he was also a man who fell, often jumped, into adventure. This work presents the taped conversations that Feynman's had with his friend Ralph Leighton over a period of years.

Offers an introduction to physics. This book explores topics such as: atoms, the fundamentals of physics and its relation to other sciences, the theory of gravitation and quantum behaviour.

Quantum electrodynamics - or QED for short - is the 'strange theory' that explains how light and electrons interact. This work presents a set of lectures that gives an introduction to QED.

Drawn from Feynman's introductory course of lectures on physics, this title delves into the revolutionary discovery of twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity.

Richard Feynman - Nobel Laureate, teacher, icon and genius - possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and a gift for telling the extraordinary stories of his life. This collection features his short pieces and reminiscences as he describes topics ranging from his love of beauty to college pranks to how his father taught him to think.

Presents Richard Feynman' letters. From down-to-earth advice to eager students to discussions of time travel, blunt rebuttals to journalists to poignant exchanges with his first wife as she suffered from tuberculosis, they introduce you to a unique person whose wisdom and lust for life inspired all those who came into his orbit.

Shows the authors passion for knowledge and sense of fun. This work features revealing pieces that spans his lifetime of enthusiasm for discovering what makes the world tick - including tales of early student experiments; safe cracking and outwitting US censors during the Second World War; and his first lecture as a graduate student.

What is science and what is its true value? Can a scientist believe in God? Why, in this supposedly scientific age, is there such widespread fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, astrology and alien invasion? This work brings together topics ranging from the atomic bomb to ethics, the imagination to the meaning of life.

This revised edition of Feynman's legendary lectures includes extensive corrections Feynman and his colleagues received and Caltech approved, making this the definitive edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.

The discovery of the notes for Richard Feynman's major lecture on the motion of planets around the sun, presented in this book, allows readers an insight into the workings of his mind. The book relates how the notes came to be lost, and how they came to be found again and reconstructed.

Fascinating and accessible book by Nobel laureates Richard Feynman and Steven Weinberg.

With genius, passion, and unmatched flair, this one-volume greatest hits of the Feynman lectures places you in the classroom of one of the twentieth century's most brilliant teachers

Presents a series of lectures, delivered in 1960 and recorded for the BBC. This work presents the author's take on the problems and puzzles that lie at the heart of physical theory - with Newton's Law of Gravitation; on whether time can ever go backwards; and on maths as the supreme language of nature.

This revised edition of Feynman's legendary lectures includes extensive corrections Feynman and his colleagues received and Caltech approved, making this the definitive edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.

This classic work presents the main results and calculational procedures of quantum electrodynamics in a simple and straightforward way. Designed for the student of experimental physics who does not intend to take more advanced graduate courses in theoretical physics, the material consists of notes on the third of a three-semester course given at the California Institute of Technology.

Richard P. Feynman shows so clearly and entertainingly in the lectures chosen for this volume, that the principles of physics are things of beauty and elegance.

A tribute to Feynman and a new exploration of the limits of computers by some of todays most influential scientists.

This new volume contains four previously unpublished lectures that Feynman gave to students preparing for exams. With characteristic flair, insight and humor, Feynman discusses topics students struggle with and offers valuable tips on solving physics problems. An illuminating memoir by Matthew Sands -- who originally conceived The Feynman Lectures on Physics -- gives a fascinating insight into ...
