5 stars for the sheer joy the author takes in teaching his readers. As popular physics treatments go, there's not much here an interested reader isn't likely to have encountered elsewhere -- other than the author's account of his own very interesting scientific autobiography. But there's great pleasure to be had in seeing the whole history and enterprise of physics through the eyes of this boyishly enthusiastic guide. It's no wonder Lewin's classes are as widely admired as they are. I plan to watch them myself one day. It was a pleasure reading this book. This book was great! I loved seeing so many things through new eyes. The author very understandably explains everything from rainbows to black holes. The only part that I didn't love were to 2 chapters that were more autobiographical. (One of these chapters was the first one, and I was worried that I had accidentally gotten a biography, but it really picked up the science on the second chapter.) I would have loved to have taken Walter Lewin's physics class. What a character!
