I would put this in the "life's too short" to read this book. Unless you are dying to know about light and photons and electrons, etc. I would say this shouldn't be on the 1000 Books to Read Before You Die. (I will say my husband was super impressed when he picked up my hold from the library. So, I did score points with him, but he is a math nerd. I am not.) It did stretch my mind. I will give it that.
Here is why James Mustich thinks it should be one of the 1000 Books You Read Before You Die:
In this brilliant, breezy explanation of quantum electrodynamics (QED), theoretical physicist Richard Feynman treats the layperson to a tour of the curious world of light and matter. It’s an ideal introduction to ideas that have taken science far beyond the realm of common sense into new regions of natural wonder. Like all of Feynman’s books, it is enlivened by the incisive, irreverent, and frequently very funny voice of a legendary scientist happy to entertain his readers at the same time as he is stretching their minds.
