Review: Excellent for self-study - After retiring and reading several of Brian Greene's books, I decided I wanted a lot more math and physics background.In the last few years I have read or at least skimmed many basic and advanced volumes [including The Theoretical Minimum #1], which prepared me to appreciate the brilliance of the text and presentation of Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory. Perhaps it's the perspective added by Art Friedman that makes this so accessible to the interested but amateur reader.The development and consistent referencing of the lagrangian and action principles are very enlightening, and in a highly entertaining story to boot. A multiverse full of thank yous to Professor Susskind for the time and energy you have devoted to helping your fellow man to appreciate some of the wonders of the physical world.
Review: Whatever it was, I understood it - I used to teach high school physics. Before reading this book, I would never have taken a course in Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory that had me as a teacher. I could do it now, because I've just read the clearest explanations of these topics that I've ever seen. This is the real deal, not a popularization. It even includes some tensor math; the first time I've understood it. A decent math background is needed, but if you have it, a lot of physics will make sense.

I used to teach high school physics. Before reading this book, I would never have taken a course in Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory that had me as a teacher. I could do it now, because I've just read the clearest explanations of these topics that I've ever seen. This is the real deal, not a popularization.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Una forma asequible a la vez que rigurosa de explicar conceptos físicos no triviales.
*by L***A on 24 June 2022*

Tercer título de una magnífica serie de libros dirigidos a los que nos quedan cortas las obras de divulgación científica, pero no tenemos formación en física más allá del bachillerato. Imprescindible.
