Great book

I thought for sure that the price difference from the used ones to the new ones meant an older edition but it wasn't. this book really was produced in 1991 so there is no worry about getting an older copy. great buy and saved well over $100.

EXCELLENT TEXT FOR INTRODUCTORY PHYSICS

I have read the other reviews and find them interesting especially since they are mixed which, admittedly , surprised me. I will use this text for a course 'Introduction to Physics'. I rate the book very highly. I find it straight forward and , actually, enjoyable to read. The pictures of physics phenomenon to me are illuminating. Also, the text asks many interesting and practical questions about Applied Physics which I find helpful to understand physics nuances and applications. In fact, I like this text better then Halliday and Resnick. I'm not quite sure what other's expectations are for an Introductory Text but for me the book presents Physics basics clearly, succinctly and in an interesting way. What more could one ask for?

Modern Technical Physics (6th Edition)

I find the book to be a little dated and visually unappealing, but so far in my college course, I am doing well with it. The instructor is very comfortable with delivery of its contents and is skilled in getting the students to learn the concepts. I like the fact that the odd problem answers offer formulas along with the correct answers.

Excellent Physics Text

Modern Technical Physics is suitable for a technical physics course such as Electrical Engineering Technology students might take. It is exceptionally well written and straightforward.

Well-explained physics book

This book by Arthur Beiser in my opinion is one of the best technical physics written, the explanation was clear and simple, the solved example from real life application give the reader better physics understanding especially the atomic and nuclear physics section. Although the book cover only the basics without any attempt to get in depth of the subject, I still give him 5 star because the basic was explained very well with clarity and simplicity I haven't found in any other physics text book. This book will be a good reference with any advanced physics book.
