Taken from Feynman's series of lectures on physics delivered at the California Institute of Technology between 1961 and 1963, Six Easy Pieces represents the most accessible material from the great physicist's teachings. In these six chapters, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, the relationship of physics to other topics, energy, gravitation, and quantum force. "The essence of physics and Feynman. No jargon, just ideas, excitement and the straight dope. And real answers, like 'we don't know.'" (Stephen Wolfram).
