"The Selected Papers of Richard Feynman should become a fixture on
the bookshelf of every physicist "
David Goodstein
Caltech
"This reprint volume, with commentary by Laurie Brown, will be
appreciated by experts and junior scientists alike "
Edwin Salpeter
Cornell University
"Brown's commentaries placing the papers in their historical
context are most helpful and constitute a valuable addition to the
collection "
Sam Schweber
Brandeis University
"Feynman's reputation ultimately rests on his major
contributions to science, which this book amply documents such a
selection of key papers is a useful reference."
CERN Courier, 2001
"This book has an excellent chronological bibliography of
Feynman's work "
Choice, Jul 2001
"Anyone with the smallest interest in physics learns that
Feynman was a great physicist, on a historic scale. What might come
as a surprise is that his original papers maintain a special
freshness and life even today. He always tried to construct his own
version of physics, from the ground up, squeezing the maximum of
insight from the minimum of formalism. In his greatest successes,
including path integrals, the modern version of quantum
electrodynamics, and the parton model, he achieves a combination of
originality, simplicity, and power that is like Mozart's best
music, a reliable source of refreshment and inspiration. But even
his lesser works contain unique material. The path-integral
variational principle, the ordered operator calculus, and the
influence functional, for example, are nowhere better presented
than in Feynman's original papers, and they may be capable of much
further development."
Frank Wilczek
MIT
"One cannotfail to be impressed by the range and quality of
Feynman's work represented in this book, and to take pleasure in
his distinctive, lucid and incisive style. Although a selection has
been made, it is sufficiently broad to provide insight into the
breadth of Feynman's interests in addition to including his many
definitive papers."
