Feynman's voice
This is a book for a thoughtful lay reader, but to an amazing degree it presents the voice of a great theoretical physicist. One expects the best when Feynman is involved, and here one gets, as usual, more than the best.

A Consumate Explainer
Richard Feynman's success as a scientist consisted of many accomplishments, not the least of which is to express his thoughts in lucid and efficient prose. For anyone interested in understanding how photons interact with electrons, this is must reading.

A pleasant, easy explanation
An almost conversational discussion of one of the most difficult problems in physics and the nature of matter.
