"Affectation of intellectual superiority and love of rhetorical splendour have prevented many from setting forth gospel truth in the easiest imaginable manner, namely, by analogies drawn from common events. Because they could not condescened to men of low estate hey have refrained from repeating incidents which would have accurately explained their meaning. Fearing to be thought vulgar, they have ...

The Feynman Lectures on Physics including Feynman's Tips on Physics: The Definitive and Extended Edition

39 reviews
Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, ...

Addison Wesley, 2005

The Greatest Physics Tutorial Ever Written
Feynman doesn't just teach physics in these books: he teaches you to think like a physicist should. One complaint I've heard is that there's not enough math in them. "Too many words." (Kinda reminds you of Armadeus.) There are plenty of books that have the math. These books offer insight -- something that is very hard to come by in formal physics education. The introductory material in ...

Hyperion, 2008

A Fantastic Gift
This guy is fantastic! What a gift he has shared with the world, a personal gift to people he will never know. He speaks from his heart with a genuine love of people and a desire to share with us all his astonishing awareness of what matters in life. It is a plea of sorts to humanity to have FUN because life is very short, to give of yourself and to take care of the people around you because ...

Lectures on Literature

Vladimir Nabokov

Harvest Books, 2002

Classic lit criticism
Excellent and brilliantly witty and dry series of lecture courses on literature from the master, Vladimir Nabokov. In this volume, Nabokov fights against all interpretive lenses, he denounces the sociological, political, and autobiographical perspectives on literature, arguing that a true reader should pay attention to the detail of the author's narrative, to the artistry and creativity, and not ...

Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue Vol 2 (World Student)

103 reviews
Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, ...

Addison Wesley, 1971

It's not just about physics
The joy of these books is not that you learn physics from them. What these books offer is Feynman's contagious wonder about things, his command of the material, and his unique way of presenting complicated ideas from a perspective understandable even to laymen. In the preface, Feynman says that the lectures are "a failure" but that is from the point of view of preparing students to pass ...

Lecture Tutorials for Introductory Astronomy (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Series in Educational Innovation)

4 reviews
Edward E. Prather, Tim P. Slater, ...

Benjamin Cummings, 2007

Excellent Hands-On Suppliment
Adam's "Lecture Tutorials" collection is an excellent suppliment to any astronomy textbook. While most text books include a couple of introductory chapters on naked-eye astronomy the material included is often surface deep at best and downright confusing at worst. Much of this is because the topics covered (i.e.-the celestial sphere, daily and yearly motions of the stars, sun and moon, etc) are ...

Lectures on Don Quixote

6 reviews
Vladimir Nabokov

Harvest Books, 1984

Backhanded homage, Bloom's agon
Nabokov claims to dislike Don Quixote and considers the novel 'crewl' yet spent a significant portion of time analyzing the novel and teaching it. I am reminded of Tolstoy's dismissal of Shakespeare and his dissection of King Lear. Orwell correctly pointed out that, among these giants, bothering to grapple with another's legend so completely is a nod to greatness, one doesn't bother to kill a ...

The Feynman Lectures on Physics Volumes 1-2

8 reviews
Richard P. Feynman

Basic Books, 2003

Utterly compelling listening. A tour de force from a true scientific legend.
A fascinating, entertaining and inspirational whirlwind tour through key aspects and phenomena of physics, led by a true scientific legend of the 20th century. Although there are frequent passages of mathematical explanation and equation solving (at a blackboard that you cannot see on audio) the persistent listener is handsomely rewarded for his patience by the qualitative discussions, which are ...

Five Lectures on Psycho-Analysis

Sigmund Freud

W. W. Norton & Company, 1989

one of Freud's clearest reads
These lectures to a lay audience are a good starting point for understanding Freud's thought--very readable, informative, and at times humorous.

Lectures on Macroeconomics

8 reviews
Olivier Jean Blanchard, Stanley Fischer

The MIT Press, 1989

Broad macro theory at your hands!
I loved this book since I first read it. It's a complete book in terms of modern macroeconomic theory topics covered and in the treatment of them. The authors have focused in modern development in the field and have tried to gather a significant collection of models and theories which explain several aspects of the macroeconomic analysis (just check the index to find out all that you can read ...

Lectures on Quantum Mechanics

Paul A. M. Dirac

Dover Publications, 2001

A must have
From the master himself: Paul Dirac. Very sharp, to-the-point and complete overview of the Quantum Theory. But from Dirac's point of view it's an interesting angle to review things.

Great book
Very helpful introduction to the economics of antitrust. I also really enjoy the writing style: clear and precise. I wish it is a larger volume though. I want to read more!

Lectures on Calvinism

9 reviews
Abraham Kuyper

Cosimo Classics, 2007

Anyone better than Kuyper? NO!
Invited to speak at the Stone Lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary in 1898, Kuyper took the opportunity to deliver this message on the importance of Calvinism as a comprehensive "life-system," or what today we might refer to as a worldview. Kuyper is simply brilliant and his writing is amazing - tackling difficult issues and concepts, yet making it accessible to an interested and engaged ...

Elementary Particles and the Laws of Physics: The 1986 Dirac Memorial Lectures

5 reviews
Richard P. Feynman, Steven Weinberg

Cambridge University Press

Physics by two of the very best!
As usual, the best physics books are short and to the point, as is this one. The two Dirac lectures may serve as a perfectly good mini physics course all by themselves. I always enjoy a Feynman lecture, and this is no exception. He cuts to the chase without sacrificing the plot. But, I must say, in this case the Wienberg lecture is the better of the two. Weinberg's style has a particular ...

New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

1 review
Sigmund Freud

W. W. Norton & Company, 1965

a spotty but valuable supplement to the general introduction
In these seven lectures, written in 1932, Freud supplements the "Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis" (also called the General Introduction to Psychoanalysis) delivered in 1915-17, with additions and amendments to his theory developed through the 1920s. The lectures contain a clear, concise presentation of some of Freud's later theory (the super-ego, eros/thanatos, trauma). They also ...
