 Description: 

"If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces."-John Gribbin, New Scientist

It was the outrageous and scintillating teaching style of Richard Feynman that gained him legendary status among students and physics professors. From 1961 to 1963, at the California Institute of Technology, Feynman gave a series of lectures that revolutionised the teaching of physics around the world. The most available material from the series is Six Simple Bits, taken from these popular lectures on physics.

Feynman introduces the general reader to the following subjects in these classic lessons: atoms, fundamental physics, electricity, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the connection of physics to other topics. Feynman addresses each debate with a minimum of jargon with his dazzling and inimitable wit. Six Simple Bits, packed with fantastic explanations and clever diagrams, is the perfect introduction from one of the most revered and open physicists of recent times to the fundamentals of physics.
