5.0 out of 5 stars Good basic physics book
Reviewed in Canada on 29 July 2021

Authors have learned a lot about writing textbooks. This book incorporates most of the lessons. It has a preview section, good diagrams, and problems that highlight current physics directions.It has an answer key or some such so that readers can check their answers. I bought the book as a reference but may open it from time to time just to learn new things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book on Introductory Physics
Reviewed in the United States on 1 August 2016

I am *so* happy I found this book! It's everything you could possibly want: it explains the information in a clear, simple, concise manner without ever coming off as condescending. As an adult with a strong curiosity for science, I found this book to include all of the information I could have hoped for.

I bought it expecting a simple "Physics for Dummies" type of approach, but what I found was a detailed breakdown of physics, chemistry, electricity, and a handful of other fascinating subjects that are all directly connected to Physics. I never expected a single book to cover all of those subjects, much less in such a way as to show you how they are all connected. It's really quite brilliant. My favorite part is that each section includes a "Prerequisites" list, which is just a list of other sections in the book you should read first. This makes it very easy to skip around to the subjects that you're interested in.

Finally, the book is full of questions and self-tests. This isn't an academic book that just throws information at you non-stop. Each section tells you what you should expect to learn, includes questions throughout, and then finally ends with a self-exam.

I wish every academic book was this amazing. I've read $150 textbooks that aren't as well-structured and effective as this little $11 Kindle book. So if you want to learn about Physics (and all of the disciplines directly related to Physics), then do yourself a favor and BUY THIS BOOK!!!
