Product Description
Product Description
Eagerly awaited by scientists and academics worldwide, one of the final two sets of recordings of Feynman's landmark Lectures on Physics . Series editor David Pines has selected, from the more than one hundred recorded lectures, the six that address the greatest physics discoveries of the past five hundred years. In these lectures, Feynman not only explains gravity, relativity, probability, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and superconductivity, he offers his own unique take on what made these discoveries possible. This is a wonderful opportunity to hear Feynman expound on the contributions that have led to our present understanding of the nature of the universe. Volume 20 ( The Very Best Lectures ) is the concluding volume in the series-and an extraordinarily special one.

summary feynman tapes at 20
30 April 2003
Format:Audio Cassette
This is not a review of the subject itself, it is a status report on all twenty volumes of six cassettes each. Comments of 1-1 is first volume of written lectures first lecture.
Duplicates within audio tapes: 1-2,1-6,1-7,2-1,2-14,2-42,3-2 with 3-21 being triplicated.
Missing lectures: 1-23,2-11,2-28,2-29 which means volume three of the written lectures is completely covered by the tapes.
Volume 20 tape 1-38 is not a duplicate, just mis-labeled on box, correct on tape. This saves tape volume 20 and makes no tape volume a complete reissue of another tape volume.
Publisher is now using clear plastic cassettes so writing on them is impossible without label. Publisher also not putting tape volume number on tape any more.
Tapes such as 1-11 and 1-17 and others are found in the CD issue entitled "Six Not So Easy Pieces" etc. but then who cares, I'm sure the publisher doesn't.
Labeling the issue as "The complete audio collection" is still a stretch. I mean here we are at tape volume 20 with 9 duplicates (thats a tape volume and a half of useless tapes) and still have 4 lectures yet to be released. Somebody is sure making big bucks off of us Feynman fans. Murray should be ashamed of what he is thinking.

My Summary
27 Feb 2005
Format:Audio Cassette
I have only purchased Vol 1-19, so this does not include whatever is on vol 20... this is just to add my experience to the other review here.
I found that 5 lectures from feynman's 3 volume book (where all these lectures are based on), are missing from the audio 'feynman lectures on physics' collection. This audio collection has everything except:
V1 : ch23, 37, 38
V2: ch28, 29
However, Vol.1 ch23, and ch37 can be found in other feynman audio material, so really only 3 audio lectures are missing from the book all together.
The other review listed 2-11 as missing but its on the Vol 3 audio set (tape 5). 1-11 and 1-17 are both on Volume 9 (tapes 3 and 5 respectively).
Finally, volume 15 tape 3 is announced as 'Chapter 4' but is in fact chapter 9.
