Feynman has done some great things in his life, but something else he did was write books, and a few of them at that. In my opinion Six Easy Pieces  is an exceptionally good book for what it intends to do, educate the layman on the beauty of science, specifically physics. Usually books that involve even in the title, quantum mechanics go out of the reach of mind of the layman, but not this one! It perfectly portays its ideas without much hardcore mathematics, the same with any other topic in the book. It is a highly recommended read in my opinion.

A Fantastic Book from Feynman

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.

"It was Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. 'Six Not-So-Easy Pieces', taken from these famous 'Lectures on Physics' represent some the most stimulating material from the series. In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics ..."--Page 4 of cover.
