Richard P. Feynman

Analyzes selected physical laws, demonstrating the interaction of physics and mathematics and revealing the incredible order of nature.

The Character of Physical Law

Heiki Riesenkampf

Feynman is a legend and this book is a summary of his physics lectures. Compelling and thorough. Funny to think that a physics textbook can keep a man so engaged. Recommend for everyone interested in physics.

Matthew Royal

Much better than other, more biographical works of his. Guess I never thought of Physics as such a scattershot patchwork of guesses before. He does a good job democratizing it, emphasizing that ideas can come from anywhere, and their value comes only from their agreement with experiment data.

Very nice way of introducing how physics work and physicists think. Feynman makes it a fun ride filled with witty jokes and awesome experiments, methods and metaphors to explain this beautiful subject. He mainly sticks to the character of the laws - their essence - rather than the laws themselves. 

PS. I saw the original lectures which were recorded on tape by BBC.
