The six easiest chapters from Feynman's celebrated lectures on physics, which the Nobel Prize-winning scientist delivered from 1961 to 1963 at the California Institute of Technology, have been reprinted in this volume.

"Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher" is a publishing first. This set couples a book containing the six easiest chapters from Richard P. Feynman's landmark work, "Lectures on Physics"--specifically designed for the general, non-scientist reader--with the actual recordings of the late, great physicist delivering the lectures on which the chapters are based. Nobel Laureate Feynman gave these lectures just once, to a group of Caltech undergraduates in 1961 and 1962, and these newly released recordings allow you to experience one of the Twentieth Century's greatest minds--as if you were right there in the classroom.
