Eagerly awaited by scientists and students worldwide, Feynman's landmark "Lectures on Physics" at last on compact disk. "Basic Books" is proud to announce the next two volumes of the complete audio CD collection of the recorded lectures delivered by the late Richard P Feynman, lectures originally delivered to his physics students at the California Institute of Technology, and later fashioned by the author into his classic textbook "Lectures on Physics". Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity and quantum mechanics, "Feynman's 111 lectures" stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.
The late Richard P Feynman was Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for his work on the development of quantum field theory. He was also one of the most famous and beloved figures of the twentieth century, both in physics and in the public arena.
