For more than 30 years, Richard P. Feynman's three-volume Lectures on Physics has been known worldwide as the classic resource for students and professionals alike. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.

Good, but not the best format
Revisado: 06-30-19
These lectures are awesome, but they aren't that well suited to the audiobook format. The best thing to do is get the book, work through the sections, then listen to the audio lectures for each section. Otherwise, he'll be describing diagrams and equations and you won't know what he's talking about.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 112
On August 10, 1632, five men in flowing black robes convened in a somber Roman palazzo to pass judgment on a deceptively simple proposition: that a continuous line is composed of distinct and infinitely tiny parts. With the stroke of a pen the Jesuit fathers banned the doctrine of infinitesimals, announcing that it could never be taught or even mentioned. The concept was deemed dangerous and subversive, a threat to the belief that the world was an orderly place, governed by a strict and unchanging set of rules.

Great Story
Revisado: 03-27-19
We always hear that Newton and Leibnitz invented calculus and that's a big over-simplification, although they deserve a lot of credit. This book tells the a big part of the story behind why it's not that simple in an entertaining way.

The theme of this book is the exploration of the theory and practice of dive-bombing, which tactic proved more precise than that of level-flight bombers and more effective than air-launched torpedo attacks against surface ships. It is also the author's purpose to come to a more general conclusion as to the effectiveness of dive-bombing under actual combat conditions. In this regard the words and observations of several dive-bomber aviators have been incorporated.

Monotonous
Revisado: 05-31-18
This is a book that aviation enthusiasts might enjoy because it contains some good information and I liked the subject matter but the narrator is robotic sounding and spends a lot of time just reading off aircraft specifications.

Really Enlightening
Revisado: 03-19-18
This course was full of a ton of interesting things I had no idea about, such as the extent of Soviet-Chinese friction and the fact that China had a Vietnam war too in 1979. The only criticism I'd give is that some of the early lectures sounded like 20-30 second sound clips concatenated together. It didn't seem to flow naturally. I'm not sure if it changed or if I just got used to it, but it didn't seem to be the case towards the end. If you don't like the first 7 or 8 lectures, be patient because it gets really good.
