Blurb
Eagerly awaited by scientists and academics worldwide, the complete series of Feynman's groundbreaking lectures on physics.

Summary
"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, reflecting on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be extremely successful and led to a book that has served as a definitive introduction to physics for decades. It ranges from the most fundamental principles of Newtonian physics to more advanced concepts.
