Hope all you students are enjoying the break. What's on your reading list?
-I'm working through Feynman's "Classic Feynman" which has been very enjoyable, as well as trudging through Kline's Calculus. It is rather wordy, but I like the approach it has. I also just discovered 'Understanding Physics' by Isaac Asimov. It certainly isn't a rigorous text, but I really enjoy the historical background he gives, and he really brings the history of physics alive for me. It's a nice departure from the purely quantitative treatment of science, and gives a nice perspective.
I was also going to give Lisa Randall's books a look, starting with Warped Passages.
