Product Description:
Written for students of introductory physics, this best-selling text offers students an upbeat, non-threatening overview of the discipline which focuses on concepts and critical thinking rather than number-crunching. It presents physics in a language students can comprehend, using analogies and mental imagery based on real world situations. Mathematical equations, formulas, and calculations appear as a footnote on the page to reference and supplement chapter concepts and help students see the connection between math and science.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good Product
This item came in great time in the condition listed. I am very happy with this purchase.
Rating: - Perfect, just what I ordered!
We'd been looking for this book for a few weeks. Good price and reliability high.
Rating: - Beware that the lab book comes with package edition
I bought this book for my high school daughter so I can't really rate it. But be aware that the lab book comes with the package edition so don't order it separately or you'll have to send it back like I did.
Rating:  - Worst physics textbook yet!
This book is highly unorganized, important concepts are all over the chapters. The illustrations are bad, distracting and most of the time, not descriptive. But the worst thing is at the end, some review questions and exercises require students to know some equations that are never touched in the book; some questions require you to know some Algebra 2 level stuff and some concepts are not taught.
Rating: - Conceptual Physics
I am a retired engineer, but now translating technical document.
The book of "Conceptual Physics" is helpful to learn basic theory
of technical writing.
