RICHARD P. FEYNMAN (1918–1988) was an American theoretical physicist who was widely regarded as the most brilliant, influential, and iconoclastic figure in his field in the post-World War II era.  He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga "for their fundamental work in quantum electrodynamics, with deep-ploughing consequences for the physics of elementary particles."  The problem-solving tools that he invented — including pictorial representations of particle interactions known as Feynman diagrams — permeated many areas of theoretical physics in the second half of the 20th century.

Feynman's stature among physicists transcended the sum of even his sizable contributions to the field.  His bold and colourful personality, unencumbered by false dignity or notions of excessive self-importance, seemed to announce: "Here is an unconventional mind."  He possessed a curiosity that became the stuff of legend.  He was a master calculator who could create a dramatic impression by slashing through a difficult numerical problem.  His fellow physicists envied his flashes of inspiration and admired him for other qualities as well: a faith in nature's simple truths, a skepticism about official wisdom, and an impatience with mediocrity.

His lectures at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) evolved into the books QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS (1961) and THE THEORY OF FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES (1961).  His views on quantum mechanics, scientific method, the relations between science and religion, and the role of beauty and uncertainty in scientific knowledge are expressed in two models of science writing, again distilled from lectures: THE CHARACTER OF PHYSICAL LAW (1965) and QED (1985).

In 1961 he began reorganizing and teaching the introductory physics course at Caltech.  The result, published as THE FEYNMAN LECTURES ON PHYSICS, 3 vols. (1963–65), became perhaps the most popular physics book ever written and certainly Feynman's most widely-read work.  Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman’s spellbinding lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition, presented with enthusiasm and deep insight.  They were supplemented with FEYNMAN'S TIPS ON PHYSICS (2005), which includes four freshman lectures and additional materials not included in the main text.

Feynman achieved a growing popular fame after his death, in part because of two bestselling autobiographical collections of anecdotes, "SURELY YOU'RE JOKING, MR. FEYNMAN!" (1985) and "WHAT DO YOU CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK?" (1988).  Other popular books appeared posthumously, including SIX EASY PIECES (1994), which compiles six readily-accessible chapters from the Lectures on Physics and introduces the general reader to basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics.  Six additional lectures appeared in SIX NOT-SO-EASY PIECES (1997), delving into Einstein's theory of relativity, symmetry and space-time.  PERFECTLY REASONABLE DEVIATIONS FROM THE BEATEN TRACK (2005) is a career-spanning collection of letters, many published for the first time, that cover a dazzling array of topics and themes, scientific developments and personal histories.

avatarWorkerbee... my compliments... When I look the incredible garbage that is permanently uploaded to torrents site... You are the only star that shines bright and legitimizes the exitence of torrenting beyond any doubt. You never cease to amaze me, we read exactly the same things. Thanks for your uploads, keep them coming.: _:-@
