Six Easy Pieces grew out of the need to bring to as wide an audience as possible a substantial yet non-technical physics primer based on the science of Richard Feynman. We have chosen the six easiest chapters from Feynman's celebrated and landmark text, Lectures on Physics (originally published in 1963), which remains his most famous publication. General readers are fortunate that Feynman chose to present certain key topics in largely qualitative terms without formal mathematics, and these are brought together for Six Easy Pieces.
