Summary

The third volume in Leonard Susskind’s one-of-a-kind physics series cracks open Einstein’s special relativity and field theory.

In the first two books in his wildly popular The Theoretical Minimum series, world-class physicist Leonard Susskind provided a brilliant first course in classical and quantum mechanics, offering readers not an oversimplified introduction, but the real thing—everything you need to start doing physics, and nothing more. Now, thankfully, Susskind and hi…

Critics Review

Witty and insightful … I found it thrilling

Witty and insightful … I found it thrilling – Robert P. Crease * Nature *This is quantum mechanics for real. This is the good stuff, the most mysterious aspects of how reality works, set out with crystalline clarity. If you want to know how physicists really think about the world, this book is the place to start – Sean Carroll, physicist, California Institute of Technology * author of The Particle at the End of the Universe *
