I'm only just started, but the book is a joy. And like any good book it has me antsy and headed off six-ways-to-Sunday all at once. Here's a bit of Lewin lore from YouTube:

Oh... and of course YouTube means I can short circuit the lectures at the MIT site, and find bits and pieces like this lecture about the physics of rainbows and the colour of the sky:
