I'm guessing you want popular science OP?

I want fun essays on science or just any lit oriented science material, but not the practical stuff since I dont know calculus yet

Halliday and Resnick, and/or Sears and Zemansky

Then read a calculus textbook. You can teach it to yourself, I promise.
Just remember: the critical objects are the limit, the infinite sequence, and the convergence property. If you can integrate those, everything else is just steps of computation.

Dorling Kindersley (DK) Eyewitness series has a lot of fun science picture books that are quite good, even for experts, I found a large collection posted to the pirate bay for download in pdf format.

But that if you want a physics course. Otherwise those other pop science books are just fine.

Theoretical Minimum series by Leonard Susskind. Feynman's Lectures on Physics after that (Six Easy Pieces is excerpts from it).

>> No.18722612

>>18722592
FYI: Each book has its own lecture series to accompany it (the used to be available on YouTube and probably still are)...there's also a series of supplemental lectures (for now, Susskind is old but he might produce another book to accompany them).

Here's the website for the books/course: http://theoreticalminimum.com/courses

Feynman's Lectures are too old, anon. The chapter on vision was great, but people made new discoveries on it. I'm not sure about the other ones. He is probably better picking something newer.
