Beautifully clear explanations of famously "difficult" topics ... Almost makes you believe you could have been a Newton too. John Gribbin

This is the ultimate course in modern physics. Leading physicist and father of string theory, Leonard Susskind, and citizen-scientist George Hrabovsky collaborate on a guide that teaches the skills needed to do physics on your own.

Combining crystal clear explanations of the laws of the universe with basic exercises (including essential equations and mathematics), the authors cover the minimum that readers need to understand.

They introduce the fundamental concepts of modern physics, from classical mechanics to general relativity and quantum theory, and provide a practical tool you won't find in any other popular science book.

“A good and noble book” Sunday Times

“A wonderful and unique resource. For anyone determined to truly learn physics, looking beyond conventional popular representations, this is the ideal place to start” Sean Carroll, physicist and author of The Particle at the End of the Universe

“Very understandable ... provides a clear description of advanced concepts of classical physics and gives readers wanting a challenge the opportunity to exercise their minds” Physics World
