I must admit that I did not know about Richard Feynman till recently. I am ashamed to call myself a Physics buff. But if you love Physics, you should not miss buying “The Feynman Lectures on Physics” series.
The lecture series is a compilation of lectures delivered by Feynman at Caltech between 1961 and 63. There are audio recording of the lectures too. The Indian version is pretty cheap (published by Pearson eduction). The set of three books cost around Rs.700 after 20% discount.
ISBN Number: 9788131721698, 9788131721704 and 9788131721667
I also picked up a book on butterflies. Butterflies? Yes. Butterfiles. Many birders have been inspiring me and I am now fascinated with butterflies too. If you are too, then don’t miss “The Book of Indian Butterflies” published by Bombay Natural History Society. It costs Rs.1200 after 20% discount at Tata Book House, IISc, Bangalore. ISBN Number: 9780195696202
I now need to get the problem solving supplement for the Feynman lectures (ISBN – 9788131725559)
