First published in 1964, the Feynman Lectures on Physics have been complied into a series of textbooks from the lectures that the well known physics professor gave at the California Institute of Technology. This particular book, ‘The Feynman Lectures On Physics: Mainly Mechanics, Radiation And Heat (Volume - 1)’ is the first volume of the three-part series of lectures. During the 1960s, Feynman conducted a thorough research on many difficult topics troubling physicists around the world and his findings had perplexed the theoretical scientists community. His growing popularity and intellect had the California Institute of Technology authorities request him to deliver a series of lectures. Feynman obliged the institute but with the condition that he would deliver the lectures only once. Needless to say, the lectures were recorded and it is that first-hand path-breaking lectures that Pearson Education has brought out for the benefits of students and researchers globally on the subject. The first few sections of the book deal with the behaviour of the atoms and about atoms in general; how all matter are atoms and how atoms are the crux of any chemical reaction. The book, then, establishes the fundamentals of nuclei and atoms and further elaborates on the relationship of physics with psychology, geology, biology and astronomy. The next section deals with how energy can be converted from one form to another and about the conservation of energy. There is also considerable discussion about the two-dimensional rotation of matter and that of space. Brownian theories and Statistical Mechanics along with harmonic oscillators are also explained in detail in this book. About the author: Richard P. Feynman: A famous American theoretical physicist, Richard P. Feynman became known for his work in path integral formulation in quantum physics, the physics of superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, the theory of quantum electrodynamics along with particle physics. Robert B. Leighton: An experimental physicist, Leighton was the professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology and is known for his work in the field of solid state physics, particle physics and cosmic ray physics. Mathew Sands: Born in 1920, in Massachusetts, Sands studied Physics and Mathematics at Clark University and then went on to become a physicist. He worked at MIT, before moving to California Institute of Technology. Review: Best Book in Mechanical Physics - This is perhaps the best book ever written on core concepts of Mechanical Physics. Being a biology major , I was little hesitant to read the this. But I had to read it to understand the mechanics of the water molecule. But to my surprise, it was so beautifully written that I had crossed around 2000 words without even realizing it. Would recommend it for anyone who wish to understand physics in a easy way. Review: Such a legend he is !! - About the desertcart delivery: 1. Packaging was good 2. Delivered within a week 3. Nothing noticeable defects in packaging About the book quality : 1. Paper quality was good 2. Indian edition is unfortunately not coloured one . But the overall concepts remains the same ! So , basically , if this is your cup of coffee , then give it a go ! 3. I examined each pages patiently, I got some minor defects in 2 pages and a small crack at 1 page .. that's all ! Am happy those pages doesn't compromise the contents About the book and the Author : As most of us know , Richard P. Feynman was regarded as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century . He is a Nobel laureate , got his nobel prize 🏆 for his achievements in Quantum electrodynamics along with his colleagues . He is famous for that fact that "He can explain extremely complex concepts to a child using simple syllables" . Yes , Indeed after reading the book online in his official website , I realised the whole new way of understanding the universe and beyond ! This books mainly focus on the Newtonian aspects and ends with a gist of electrodynamics and modern physics (quantum aspects and other).. Physics-lovers Bible it is !!! Give it a try , and you will see the world with whole new perspective !!

Is This Book Good?
Very good book, those who are interested in physics and want to know more about it should read this book immediately. It really gets addictive once you read it.

Super fast Delivery, Quality is nice but there are minute scratches on the back cover. Else is great, the page quality is good

A book for anyone
This is a book which suits for anyone. I have heard that this is quite complex. But if you have the determination of reading this and using the Feynman technique in this, this book should straight away be a treasure for anyone. Instead of reading this like a book , read it like a holy scripture. I am sure you will have a great time learning physics from the best : Richard Feynman. Also the book's print quality is good. Just take care of it as it is a big book and may tear off if dropped.

Most valuable book for 11th student
This books is amazing and its help me to understand the 11th and it's the starting of my study book which goes to Quantum mechanics, General Relativity, Special Relativity, Quantum Field theory

An Insightful Journey through Feynman's First Lecture: A Review of Pearson's Edition
I picked up Feynman's First Lecture from Pearson for its clear and insightful content. Feynman’s way of explaining complex physics topics is unmatched, making the material highly engaging. However, the font size was a bit small, which made reading harder at times. If the text were larger, it would be even more enjoyable to go through. Overall, it’s a great book with valuable content, but a slight adjustment in font size would improve the reading experience.

Génial et passionnant !
A great book of a great man ! Merci d'avoir existé et écrit ces ouvrages ! Feynman, il a cette extraordinaire capacité de saisir en deux temps trois mouvements l'essentiel des choses, même si il s'agit d'un sujet complexe, ce soif aigu de questionnement, ce sens formidable de pédagogie. Les sujets abordés ici, sont des classiques de la physique, mais à chaque fois, on a l'impression de faire un nouveau voyage, tenter une nouvelle exploration. Bien de concepts établis depuis longtemps et communément admis , il n'hésite pas à les saisir, défaire, tourner, retourner, disséquer à nouveau, poser des questions, résoudre, construire et déconstruire... et tout cela, avec une facilité déconcertant. C'est ça, un homme de taille. J'aurais tellement aimé d'avoir un prof de physique comme lui quand j'était au collège ou au lycée ou au moins de pouvoir lire ses bouquins beaucoup plus tôt. Dommage que la traduction en français de cette trilogie est une catastrophe et imprégnée d'erreurs grossières de bas niveau, c'est irresponsable voir ignoble de la part des traducteurs et de l'éditeur de faire un tel travail vulgaire pour les oeuvres d'un des plus beaux esprits de l'humanité.
