⭐As expected, Dirac’s presentation is concise and to-the-point. He exercises restraint and at the same time deftly delivers complex information.An amazing man. An amazing mind.

⭐P.A.M. Dirac is the most interesting character I have ever read. He , at least, is not afraid to predict a magnetic monopole and determine that its mass is about the mass of a Thorium atom (232+). And the read by Graham Farmelo on the “Strangest Man” is a window into this great mind.

⭐”Directions in Physics” constist of edited transcripts of 5 lectures given by Professor Dirac when he was visiting Australia and New Zealand in 1975.The five lectures are about:1. The development of quantum mechanics.2. Quantum electrodynamics.3. Magnetic monopoles.4. A positive energy, relativistic wave equation.5. Cosmology and the gravitational constant.In my opinion, Dirac is one of the greatest physicist ever. This book gives a unique insight his way of doing science, in which mathematical beauty plays an important role.Lecture #1 is also very nice because Dirac has experienced much of the development of quantum mechanics himself, making him an authority on the area.
