600 Free e-Books, Including A Physics Classic [1]

Apologies if you noticed my absence over the past few days.  I've been unwell (nothing serious), but am now pretty much recovered and ready to resume posting some new hot finds.  Today, I have some great free ebook resources to share with you, courtesy of subscriber Anna Merikin.

In 1964, Richard Feynman delivered a series of seven hour-long lectures at Cornell University.  They were recorded by the BBC and in 2009 (with a little help from Bill Gates) were  released to the public. The three-volume set may be the most popular collection of physics books ever written, and now the complete online edition has been made available in HTML 5 through a collaboration between Caltech (where Feyman first delivered these talks, in the early 1960s) and The Feynman Lectures Website.

The online edition has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation. Volume I deals mainly with mechanics, radiation and heat; Volume II with electromagnetism and matter; and Volume III with quantum mechanics.

You'll find the lectures, ready to search and read, at http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/ [3]

The lectures are part of a larger library of more than 600 free ebooks which you'll find at http://www.openculture.com/free_ebooks [4]
