Fundamental Physics reasoning books

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking books that explain complex topics in a simple, fundamental manner, akin to teaching concepts to beginners. The original poster expresses interest in various fields, not limited to physics, and emphasizes a preference for books that prioritize conceptual understanding over mathematical rigor. Recommendations include Richard Feynman's lecture series, which is presented in three volumes, and B. K. Ridley's "Space, Time, and Things." Additionally, Max Jammer's "Concepts of Force" is suggested as a suitable option for understanding interactive forces. The conversation highlights a desire for accessible literature that breaks down advanced subjects into easily digestible explanations.

Hey guys...I always tend to ask a lot questions...so I was wondering if you guys know of some books out there which is very fundamental and explains its reasoning on every step of its way as if it was made for kindergarten but covers advanced topics?

Fields I am interested in: everything...doesn't even have to physics!

Thx.

Feynmann's books.. he has a set of 3 volumes, basically written-out lectures.

Any books on interactive forces?(remember I like books that focus on the concepts rather than math)

You could try Concepts of Force by Max Jammer, but I think you'll really like the Ridley book.
 
Thx a lot guys, any other books on top of the head?
