In the book "QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter," Richard P. Feynman explains, in a clear and humorous style, the revolutionary scientific theory that earned him the Nobel Prize. Quantum electrodynamics – or QED for short – is the theory that explains how light and electrons interact, thus revealing the deeper and more complex mysteries of the world around us. Thanks to Richard Feynman and his colleagues, who won the Nobel for their groundbreaking work, QED is one of the rare areas of physics that is certain – a theory that has stood the test of time. In these entertaining lectures, Feynman uses clear everyday examples to provide the definitive introduction to QED.

Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers of our century. Other books by Feynman, also available from Penguin, include "QED," "Six Easy Pieces," "Six Not-so-Easy Pieces," "Don't You Have Time to Think," "The Pleasure of Finding Things Out," "What Do You Care What Other People Think?" and "The Meaning of it All."
