About this title: Famous the world over for the creative brilliance of his insights into the physical world, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the nonscientist. "QED" - the edited version of four lectures on quantum electrodynamics that Feynman gave to the general public at UCLA ...

"This covered too much in too small of book. I guess the intent was to quickly explain QED without any math, but I'm not sure he is as successful here as he is with his other writings."
"It is not accessible without the proper background. There is a lot made about how the book delivers popular science without fudging anything, which is great, but by the end I cam to understand why other scientists fudge things. Without doing so, things are just a bit too complicated. There's a reason why getting a doctorate takes half a decade."
