Wiley, 2007 Knowledge Does Not Come Easy It is unfortunate that there exist two groups of people who might read this textbook at some point: Those who enjoy physics and those who need only to pass a physics class (or three) in college. It is easy to appeal to the former, because this book is comprehensive and reads like a novel for the physics-minded. It covers all of the standard topics thoroughly and clearly without getting into ...             Physics: Principles with Applications6 reviews Douglas C. Giancoli Pearson Education, 2004 outstanding I used Giancoli as my primary text in high school, and found it to be a superb text. I think those complaining of a lack of worked problems are missing the entire point of this text and the essence of studying physics. This book is about understanding physics principles and the equations you use to solve physics problems. You will find that with this understanding (certainly provided by this ...             Physics: Principles and Problems9 reviews Paul W. Zitzewitz, T. G. Elliott, ... McGraw-Hill/Glencoe, 2004 2005 Edition if VERY Different from earlier editions 2005 Edition if VERY Different from earlier editions -- reviews that pre-date 2005 are not talking about the current edition of this book--- More than half of the book was rewitten for the 2005 editon, and it now follows the Modeling Instruction in Physics curriculum more closely than any other current textbook. Note: Modeling Instruction in Physics was recognized in 2001 by the U.S. Department ...             University Physics with Modern Physics with MasteringPhysics(TM) (12th Edition) (MasteringPhysics Series)8 reviews Hugh D. Young, Roger A. Freedman Addison Wesley, 2007 Just as expected. Everything was in order, just as I had expected, it showed up a couple days earlier than scheduled, so great.             Conceptual Physics Package Edition47 reviews Paul G. Hewitt Addison Wesley, 2005 Perfect, just what I ordered! We'd been looking for this book for a few weeks. Good price and reliability high.             Physics29 reviews John D. Cutnell, Kenneth W.

Giancoli Prentice Hall, 2004 Informative Comprehensive and thorough. A must for anyone who needs an understanding of applying calculations to actions. I found this book to be even paced and very understandable.             Holt Physics3 reviews Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn Holt Rinehart & Winston, 2005 Superb Physics book! This was the text book used in my honors physics class. Though it may not go into extremely advanced issues, it does touch on A LOT of material, including basic collisions, fluids, rotational motion, relativity (a bit), and even some quantum mechanics. This book is definitely useful to anyone who wants a better education in basic physics and a start into somewhat beginner's advanced physics.             Enhanced College Physics (with PhysicsNOW)2 reviews Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn, ... Brooks Cole, 2006 Still a good, sound text for college general physics... Updaated: Fall 2008. Still using this text. Still no complaints, verbal or otherwise, from students. Will continue using it for another year. Gave it five stars, because of the other review here about amazons slow delivery. Didn't order mine from amazon, so I can't comment about that, just the quality of the text. But I have noticed that all my orders from amazon seem to have been slow in ...             College Physics Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn, ... Brooks Cole, 2008 While physics can seem challenging, its true quality is the sheer simplicity of fundamental physical theories--theories and concepts that can enrich your view of the world around you. COLLEGE PHYSICS, 8e, provides a clear strategy for connecting those theories to a consistent problem-solving approach, carefully reinforcing this methodology throughout the text and connecting it to real-world examples. For students planning to take the MCAT exam, ...             College Physics (Paper Version with PhysicsNow)30 reviews Raymond A. Serway, Jerry S. Faughn, ... Brooks Cole, 2005 Sloppy I am not at all impressed with the 7th ed. I am now using another textbook instead of the the College Physics 7th ed required for my class. The text itself if so-so. The text explanations of concepts are unclear and unnecessarily wordy, not the worst out there but certainly nothing to scream about. One of the irritating tendencies was that simple explanations of even basic concepts were few ...             Physics for Future Presidents: The Science Behind the Headlines13 reviews Richard A. Muller W. W. Norton, 2008 A Level-Headed Scientific Approach to Important Issues What drew me to this book was not so much its title, although it is quite intriguing, but its author. I had read a couple of Professor Muller's books in the past and found them to be very engaging as well as models of clarity. This book is no exception. Using logical scientific reasoning, the author addresses various topics that a future president would likely need to deal with. The topics are: ...             Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Volume 1, Chapters 1-22, 7th Edition2 reviews Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett Brooks Cole, 2007 What to do with a phyisics degree and mediocre teaching ability? Write a physics textbook! Snark of my title aside, this book is really poor for trying to learn physics from, on your own, which with the quality of many teachers today you are most likely to end up doing. If you find a quality teacher willing to take the time to form his or her own explanations for everything in this book, in more understandable terms, then it is a good reference. But if you are not that fortunate, I ...             Physics for Scientists and Engineers with Modern Physics, Chapters 39-46 (with CengageNOW 2-Semester, ...18 reviews Raymond A. Serway, John W. Jewett Brooks Cole, 2007 Excellent Textbook! I really am impressed with this textbook. It is one of the most organized texts I have ever used in college. The authors and publisher do an excellent job of "formatting" the topics. All equations are very well marked and numbered. Many other texts throw an equation in the middle of a paragraph and you can never find it when you need it. Not so in this book! You will always find just what ...             Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, ...48 reviews Michio Kaku Doubleday, 2008 Soup for the mind My daughter loved the book. Seems the picture on the cover has images from "Dr. Who", one of her favorite programs. Just the book to interest and challenge the mind.             Physics For Dummies (For Dummies (Math & Science))13 reviews Steve Holzner For Dummies, 2004 Great I have already received a degree in physics, but am always looking at texts for further understanding and alternate perspectives. This book is good for either a beginner or someone looking strengthen their grasp of physics.             Student Study Guide and Selected Solutions Manual, Volume 1 for College Physics7 reviews Bo Lou Addison Wesley, 2006 Best Algebra Based Physics Text Physics is a difficult subject. This text does an admirable job of making a difficult subject easier. There are advantages and disadvantages to disallowing the writer to use calculus in writing the material. Some formulas require calculus to derive and so must be either taken on faith as true, or the derivations looked up in a calculus based test. Fortunately the times when this issue comes up ...             Fundamentals of Physics1 review David Halliday Wiley, 2007 Caution to fellow students Thie DOES NOT include the wileyPLUS online accompaniment. If your professor requires wileyPLUS do not order this unless you intend to order the wileyPLUS seperate.             Schaum's Outline of College Physics, 10th edition (Schaum's Outlines)9 reviews Frederick J. Bueche, Eugene Hecht McGraw-Hill, 2005 Get this book, study it, and you will be confident in solving physics problems and do well in class!! Oh my,I absolutely love this book!! It is by far the most useful supplementary book I've ever used! I had a horrible AP physics teacher and textbook in high school, but this book saved me. The example problems in the book show us almost all the techniques we will ever need to know for introductory physics. It's easy-to-understand, yet sophisticated enough to be useful for college physics. It ...             Cracking the AP Physics B Exam, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep)2 reviews Princeton Review Princeton Review, 2008 One of the Best Review Books This book will easily get anyone who really understands it a 5 on the exam, especially if you can score well on the practice tests in the back. It's better for review, rather than learning. If you want an AP book that you can learn from, I suggest using 5 Steps to a 5. I never really understood electromagnetic induction or nuclear physics from my textbook, and this book was even worse for that, ...              search for books 2-semester, applications, cengagenow, chapters, conceptual, cracking, engineers, enhanced, exploration, extended, fundamentals, headlines, impossible, masteringphysics, outlines, personal, phasers, physics, physicsnow, presidents, principles, printed, problems, scientific, scientists, selected, semester, solutions, teleportation, university books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
