I used 7th ed vol. 2 for an online physics course and it wasn't a terrible book. Most of the stuff in here is not at all intuitive, so the nature of the subject matter itself is difficult. You need to work problems to get this stuff in your head, and you have to be self-motivated to study if you're doing an online course. One criticism I have is that the "PhysicsNow" is worthless. They provide no explanation on the website.

Rating:  - Professors please spare your students
I don't think this book explains concepts very well and it's even worse at teaching how to build on them.

Rating: - This book is worthless
I used this book for my physics class and I totally hate it. We will be using it again for next semester and I wish they would use a different one. If you are a teacher, please save your studernts from the headache! pick a better book!
Rating: - Waste of Money
Do not waste your money on this textbook! Even the most basic concepts are poorly explained. Examples are random and rarely help to reinforce the lesson. You can find a much better physics book for a fraction of the price. I can't believe they published this book!!
Rating: - less than one star... but since there's no zero
This is one of the poorest books I've ever used for learning any subject. This is simply NOT GOING TO WORK if you learn by reading/studying, rather than in class.
I already have a college degree, and I've read thousands of books, and studied from many. Rarely have I found a book this thick that has so little
1) EXPLANATION OF CORE CONCEPTS,
or
2) THOROUGHLY WORKED EXAMPLES OF PROBLEMS.
There is a lot of verbiage but that is all.
