haaris's review against another edition
5.0
A beautiful book. This is a selection from Feynman's lectures specifically covering Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity. The treatment is involved; not at an unreachable technical level but one needs to take some paper with pencil to enjoy the content as Feynman explains some profound and extraordinary physics.
In a time of excessive work, night reads like this give a glimpse of something far more eternal and magnificent than what can be seen in normal life. And I am grateful for it.

Dear sweet cats, this thing kicked my ass in the best possible way. What a blast!

No one can give Feynman due credit for his lucid and flowing writing style. I personally think this book one his finest. In it, he went on explaining very complex topics in a really understandable style, intelligible to the layperson of modest background in science.

Just like the title says, not as accessible as the first book. I enjoyed the first two chapters about symmetry even if I didn't get all of the specifics. Then relativity required too much work for me right now. Maybe I'll come back to it when I have more motivation.
