For the Love of Physics

By Walter Lewin

MIT professor Walter Lewin's joyful tour through physics — from rainbows and falling objects to electricity and X-ray binaries. His MIT lectures became famous on YouTube for the same reason this book works: infectious enthusiasm.

Less a textbook than a love letter to physics. Best for anyone who wants to be reminded why physics is beautiful before grinding through the equations.
