This review is from: Particle Physics for Non-Physicists DVD Lecture: A Tour of the Microcosmos - The Teaching Company (DVD)

This lecture series isn't a Hollywood production. You won't be wowed by specials effects or antics. It takes a straight forward approach to teaching and is geared more towards beginners.

As one that doesn't have a formal educated in the field of physics, I found this series to be a useful tool. The fact that I'm almost totally autodidactic in the subject left obvious holes in my knowledge. Going back to the basics and addressing my weaknesses enhanced my ability to grasp more complex theories.
