Summary: Inside Physics
Review: This set explains physics! The explanations are original--very hard to find indeed. The examples are practical in both research and application fields. The only book (set) that I deeply in love.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is Inside Physics
Review: This is a three volume set. The set explains just about every subject in physics. What makes this set so good is its emphasis on the physical comcepts rather than on heavy mathematics derivation. The explanations are original and the examples are practical in both pure researches and applications. If you like physics, this set is priceless.

Summary: Physics edutainment at its best ...
Review: July 12, 1999

First and foremost thank you for producing this initial release of Richard Feynman's Physics lectures.

I am a total fan of Richard Feynman's series of Physics lectures and enjoy them both for their knowledge and historic value but ...

I would really like to see a transcript made of this audio lecture and have it reproduced by a professional narrator like Jeff Riggenbach who has done work for audio scholar. Jeff Riggenbach's work is excellant! Listen to T-Rex and The Crater of Doom as one example.

I would repurchase all of the Richard Feynman Physics lectures done to date if this could please be done. The current tapes are OK but the sound quality and announciation could be so much better.

Please work with Audio Scholar if necessary to realise this new release and please continue producing advanced audio physics lectures. I would like your company to continue where Richard Feynman left off.

I use the tapes as audio edutainment on my way to work and as bedtime stories for my 18 month old son who has been listening to Richard since birth. I have allocated a budget of $1,000 a year for advanced audio edutainment like this. If you create it I will support it.

Summary: There is no better Physics text for the non-Ph.D. reader.
Review: This excellent series of texts covers almost every topic in modern physics. This is the only book on Physics that covers all this complex physics topics that could be understood by anyone with a college degree. However, for those without background in Calculus, you may have some trouble.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exhilirating
Review: I read the entire book back in college. The approach to explaining quantum mechanics was so different from the other books I read back then. The derivation of the rotation matrices, the discussion of symmetry and superconductivity, among others, were simply breathtaking. Definitely a classic.

Summary: a physics poetic
Review: if humor sense makes you feel better, when you read the books of Feymman, you will find what's the definition of humor:spirit spouts out directly of the deep soel, the silence and warmness.... you can say that I'm crazy, but it's just because the three poetic physic books made me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The physics book of the century
Review: Almost everything was said about this great, amazing book, but the volume 3 deserves a special remark. It is one of the most(if not the most) quantum mechanics book that treat this subject in a very elegant way. Beginning directly with the very deep mistery of quantum mechanics (the interference of probabilities amplitudes) and treating the reader as an inteligent person, Feynman shows the strange and marvelous world of quantum mechanics. You will probabilly never find another book so deep and at the same time so simple. This book treats QM in a physical view point and leaves the abstract mathmatics of QM for a more advanced text.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most beautiful book I've ever read
Review: The only problem with this book is that once you start reading it, and you fall in love with it, it's next to impossible to stop. Chapter are beautifully organized, they are not too long, too wordy or too short. You are sure when you start it, even if it takes some extra effort you'll be able to finish it. Here and there in between the lines Feynman reveals many of the astonishing secrets of nature; You can't just sit there and remain speechless, you'll say: "Hey, that's right!" My major is physics, and I claim I've seen more physics text books than average physicists, but this is different, this is a hilarious masterpice.

Summary: Sends chills down my spine..
Review: It is March 1999 and I am listening to September 1963's Richard Feymann - him obviously being in a very good mood - giving a lecture on basic quantumn physics. Wow! I have read the books that are based on these lectures but hearing Feynman himself gives me the chills. This guy enjoys the stuff and is capable of transfering this joy to his audience. No surprise his lectures became legendary. (Wish my physics professors had been a little bit more like this guy and less like tibetan monks :) One question remains - why the heck have these tapes been published so late? Gimme more - please!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best overview of physics widely available
Review: An excelent set. Goes into more detail than you probably knew existed on all the major subjects in physics from Newtonian to Modern Physics.
