    blueshift - Were you not familiar with any of these terms or they seem boring, this book is specifically written for you
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017*

Event horizon, gravitational potential energy, neutron stars, plasma, accretion disk, donor star, X-ray bursts, parallax, destructive interference, Chladni plate, antisolar point, spaghettification, redshift, blueshift - Were you not familiar with any of these terms or they seem boring, this book is specifically written for you, and you should read it!The first chapter isn't much about physics. Professor Lewis touches various topics on his life. Even though it is not about science, do not skip it. I loved the first chapter because I got to know him as a person not as a boring guy that is going to explain boring science stuff to me. He goes over his childhood and family in Netherlands in which a great deal of suffering happened from World War 2. Also, he explains how he could not thrive as a scientist in his homeland because of bureaucracy and authoritarian leadership. Getting to know Professor Lewis is very important in understanding the physics, as weird as it may sound. Trust me. His lessons are intertwined with his life experiences. This way is very effective. For instance, he does not just explain how the red light's maximum refractory degree is 42 and blue light 40 in rainbow. He tells his personal story on how he was able to apply these scientific facts to find a regular rainbow on a trip, and discover a new type of rainbow - glassbow. I had to understand the scientific statements and facts to follow his interesting and cool stories.The last few chapters cover astronomy and his contribution to X-ray bursts. The way he explains is so easy to grasp and intriguing. At no time have I felt bored with the topics and scientific concepts. He wrote this book to help readers to see the world through the eyes of the physics. He gives a warning: you will not be able to see the world as you did before after reading the book. He could not be more right. He puts it as “YOU HAVE LOST YOUR VIRGINTY.”  I saw a rainbow yesterday. I was verifying antipolar point, confirming that the red band within the rainbow was on top within 42 degree from the antipolar point. At night, I looked up at the night sky with stars. I was telling myself that one third of stars were binary systems in which two stars look like a star to naked eyes. Today, I was conversing with a friend while I was driving. An ambulance was passing us by. I told my friend how the sound waves' frequency increases while the ambulance was coming towards us due to its speed and the direction, evidenced by higher pitch, and vice versa as the ambulance was going away from us. I finished my lecture by saying "isn't science amazing?" I can't forget his confused expression on his face. He didn't see that coming from a guy like me who is a full time soldier in the Army – to know and even extol a nerdy subject with such an excitement. Who cares? Doppler Effect is so amazing!Just as the title of the book tells, For the Love of Physics, Professor Lewis loves physics. And it is contagious. Please let him take you to the world of physics with which you will fall in love.

    power(physics, love)

Love. Physics. You need a brilliant teacher to make the connection. Good news. Lewin's lectures are on YouTube. Some uncover the beauty of "mundane" physics; stuff happening around you right now. You may catch a "rainbow disease" but will also gather some evidence that love and physics can go together. This book complements his lectures with a biographical twist. Also sharing his education, interest in art and research on x-ray astronomy.

    A great teacher helps you understand
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020*

There’s a difference between knowing a subject and understanding it. You can know physics by being adept at using math and knowing equations well enough to solve problems and still  not have a deep understanding of the underlying reasons why things are true. I’ve watched Walter Lewin’s courses and he is one of the best at getting students to see underlying reasons behind physics. By showing people how things work and how truths were derived he communicates some thing far beyond jus learning equations. This book, in a very concise way, does the same thing. It lints the way to understanding. Love the book.
