Praise for Princeton's original edition: "Feynman simply cannot help being original. In this quirky, fascinating book, he explains to laymen the quantum theory of light. New Yorker Praise for Princeton's original edition:"[A]nother tour de force by the acknowledged master of clear explanation in physics. -- John Roche Times Literary Supplement Praise for Princeton's original edition:"Feynman's lectures must have been marvellous and they have been turned into an equally entrancing book, a vivid introduction to QED which is leavened and enlivened by his wit. Anyone with a curiosity about physics today should buy it, not only to get to grips with the deepest meaning of quantum theory but to possess a slice of history. -- Pedro Waloschek Nature Praise for Princeton's original edition: "In four conversational and breezy chapters... Feynman, who himself gave the theory its most useful and powerful form, undertakes without one equation to explain QED to the generality of readers. -- Philip Morrison Scientific American
