[Phys-L] Feynman volumes I, II, and III on the web



As you may know, volume I of the _Feynman Lectures on Physics_
has been available for some time, free for all.

Volume II and III are now available also.

This is a Really Big Deal if you ask me.

If anyone wants to know what real physics looks like -- wants to
see clarity, correctness, and panache -- they should look here.
This is a physicist's physics book.
