Genius and Humanity, Oct 18 2007
By Noel Rieder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Feynman Lectures on Physics, The Definitive Edition Volume 1 (Hardcover)
R.P. Feynman was more than just a physicist with a staggering intuitive understanding of the machinery of complex equations and physical laws, he was also very human and sane and filled with simple awe at the natural world. If you want to begin to understand the kind of genius he had, and to feel his enthusiasm for teaching, then buy the first book of this set. It is the easiest to follow since it deals with basic physics for the most part. If you have a solid physics background, and/or a high IQ, then venture forth into volume two and three.

Classic audio of a physics legend, Aug 12 2011
By Joseph Dewey - Published on Amazon.com
The audio for the Feynman Lectures on Physics Volume 1 was awesome. The audio is from various lectures that he gave in 1963 at the California Institute of Technology. This is from the same famous Feynman who's famous in physics, so it was awesome to listen to his actual lectures.Feynman has a very old-school, New York accent, and he's great to listen to. I might play this lecture instead of music at my next 70s party, just to add thick atmosphere fast.
The material was over my head, but I liked listening to it anyway. Even though this is the basics of Quantum Mechanics, it's still pretty complex stuff. But, Feynman makes it as understandable as possible, and gives real life examples, especially considering that it is almost 50 years old. I liked it a lot better than my college physics classes. I'll definitely listen to this again when I learn more about quantum mechanics.
Pros:
+Lots of info about quantum mechanics
+Very entertaining, and very nice to listen to
+For 50-year old audio, recorded in a lecture hall, this audio was incredible!
Cons:
-He keeps referring to stuff he's drawing on a board, which I obviously couldn't see on the audio book.
