A physicist who also wrote a brilliantly readable book on quantum electrodynamics called QED. This is a sensational account of the fundamental laws of the universe (i.e. the ones humans didn't make), written for delivery as public lectures at Cornell University. Don't be put off if, like me, you found school physics both dull and confusing. This is a great read. Review by Nigel Williams, whose books include 'Fortysomething' (Kirkus UK)
A series of classic lectures, delivered in 1960 and recorded for the BBC. This is Feynman's unique take on the problems and puzzles that lie at the heart of physical theory - with Newton's Law of Gravitation; on whether time can ever go backwards; on maths as the supreme language of nature.

This collection demonstrates Feynman's knack of finding the right everyday illustration to bring out the essence of a complicated principle - for example, the brilliant analogy between the law of conservation energy and the problem of drying yourself with wet towels.
