He was actually my high school physics teacher! And very good. A really cool guy and super smart.

whoa.. I think we were literally in the same class at Lab. Nice to see you here!

oh, hey man! likewise! it's been a while. :)

That's nothing: Feynman's proof of the Maxwell equations (FJ Dyson - Phys. Rev. A, 1989 ( http://signallake.com/innovation/DysonMaxwell041989.pdf) ) shows, that it is possible to derive Maxwells equations from Newtons second law of motion and the uncertainty principle.

Feynman's "Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals" is about $18 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Path-Integrals-Emend... That is a serious graduate level book - written in his own style.

I think I would rather my copy of the original hard cover w/ published corrections.

"...recasts many equations for clearer comprehension" to me is an unacceptable modification.
