Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

by Richard Feynman

The outrageous memoirs of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, recounting his adventures from cracking safes at Los Alamos to playing bongo drums in Brazil, from picking locks to decoding Mayan hieroglyphics. A celebration of curiosity, mischief, and the joy of figuring things out.

QED

by Richard Feynman

Feynman's brilliantly accessible explanation of quantum electrodynamics — the theory of how light and matter interact — adapted from four lectures for a general audience. Using simple diagrams and plain language, Feynman explains one of the most accurate theories in all of physics.

Six Easy Pieces

by Richard Feynman

Six of the easiest chapters from Feynman's legendary Lectures on Physics, covering atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum behavior, and the relationship of physics to other sciences. Feynman's gift for explanation makes complex ideas feel natural and exciting.

The Character of Physical Law

by Richard Feynman

Based on a series of lectures at Cornell University, Feynman explores the general character of physical law — not specific laws, but the nature of the laws themselves. Covering gravity, conservation, symmetry, and the relationship between mathematics and physics, it's a meditation on how science works.

The Elegant Universe

by Brian Greene

Brian Greene takes readers on a journey through string theory, extra dimensions, and the quest for a unified theory of physics. With vivid analogies and clear explanations, Greene makes some of the most abstract ideas in modern physics accessible and thrilling.

The Three-Body Problem

by Cixin Liu

Set against the backdrop of China's Cultural Revolution, a secret military project sends signals into space to establish contact with aliens. An alien civilization on the brink of destruction captures the signal and begins to plan an invasion of Earth. Meanwhile, on Earth, different camps begin to form, planning to either welcome or fight the alien visitors.
