Free (open sourceish?) physics book

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding online resources, particularly PDFs, that cover topics related to magnets, magnetism, and magnetic forces in-depth, without delving into unconventional theories. Participants mention several valuable resources, including MIT's OpenCourseWare, which offers course notes on electromagnetism and other physics topics. They highlight the availability of free PDFs and Creative Commons materials through a simple Google search. The Feynman lectures are also noted as accessible via torrent, though copyright concerns are raised. Additionally, a suggestion is made to explore free science resources from various universities for further lecture notes and books.

Anyone know of one online? A PDF would be awesome. Also, if it delves into magnets, magnetism and magnetic forces in-depth (nothing too crazy, no new whacky theories), that would hit gold, gold I tell ya!

... + other topics: have a play.
(A lot of colleges have been putting their course-notes online.)

The Feynman lectures are available in a torrent - though I don't think they will be out of copyright and I don't know the terms.

There's quite a few pdf's for gratis and even cc download within an easy google and they look very similar. Which level are you looking for?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
