    I'd consider these books to be essential reading for anyone who wants to understand physics.

    Be they a physics student, or a lay person.

    I really cannot recommend these books enough. I'm sure they are mentioned in the useful physics books thread above, but I thought that people might be interested in discussing them in a thread :)

    Feynman's Lectures

    That link was great. You got any links for entropy and lenses?

    sean_o I know you probably meant well but you can't put links to pdfs of books that are under copyright up on here. That's illegal and essentially such links are links to warez which are not allowed on this site.

    If you do so again I will have to ban you.

    Fair enough.

    Seems I only ever cause trouble around here :) I think I'll shut up for a while

    No mate, I know it was well intentioned on your part. It's just that this site has very strict rules regarding warez and the discussion of such.

    Please continue to contribute.

    Also, on the same site, take a look at Harry Krotos lectures.
    Great one on C60 (Buckminsterfullerene)

    Also, if you're interested, Brian Greenes Elegant Universe (complete 3 hour tv show stream available) Pretty much a cheesy american attempt and absolutely string theory biased but worth the watch...good quality..
