Excellent

After failing my first Physics exam, I purchased this book and have Aced my exams since. It is an absolute for anyone taking Physics. The information and review problems helped me to learn the formulas and understand the dynamics of physcis. I recommend it for all those seeking to achieve success in all they aspire!

Good Physics book.

This book goes out to explain physics themes in simple, clear language understandable to the lowest common denominator. Since it's algebra-based physics, it ought to be useful for the high-school or technical college student. The book arrived early and in near-pristine condition.

did we really need an 8th edition?

Apparently, editions of this book have come out every 3 years or so, according to the copyright page. Given that it is aimed at the high school and first year undergrad level, you might wonder about the need for this. The subject is not even one like molecular biology or politics, where perhaps revisions are often needed at an introductory level of discussion. The Applied Physics refers to how the authors strive to motivate a possibly uninterested and listless reader in the fun of physics. Daresay that most such readers will put fun in quotes. So there are many examples, and colour photos, sprinkled throughout the text, in which elementary physics is applied in daily situations. As you could expect from an 8th edition, the prose is polished and the logic is well done. A cynic could say that an earlier edition would have been just as adequate.
