A review by david_reads_books
The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Richard P. Feynman
5.0
This is the absolute best physics book(s) ever. If you read the bio's for the US Physics Team, you will regularly find the sharpest high school minds have been inspired by reading Feynman's Lectures. It is inconceivable that one single person, Richard Feynman, can know/understand this amount of material and explain it all so thoroughly. You really need to have taken Physics already prior to diving into these volumes to fully appreciate the clarity that Feynman conveys on these topics.

Feynman has another book called "Six Easy Pieces", which is directly taken from these lectures:
Six Easy Pieces (1994)
Chapters:
Atoms in motion = Lectures Chapter 1
Basic Physics = Lectures Chapter 2
The relation of physics to other sciences = Lectures Chapter 3
Conservation of energy = Lectures Ch 4
The theory of gravitation = Lectures Chapter 7
Quantum behavior = Lectures Chapter 37
